All of you have undoubtedly attended events where someone walks around tapping on a xylophone or some other bell-related instrument to alert guests that the next phase of a presentation is about to begin. That’s the cue to finish up your coffee and head on over to ballroom A/B.
Unfortunately, the staff at ENX Magazine doesn’t have a clue as to how to play percussive instruments, so we’ll simply say we’ve reached the 11th hour for Difference Maker nominations. This coming Tuesday, March 11, is the deadline for submitting the names of exceptional individuals, so that we may shine a light on their exploits.
Nominate a 2025 Difference Maker today!
Just to recap, each year we recognize those indispensable individuals across all facets of the office technology landscape—the dealers, distributors, manufacturers, and other providers to the industry—who have demonstrated they can rise to the occasion and deliver results, regardless of whether they’re chief executives or executive assistants.
While dealers and manufacturers have been busy with kickoff meetings, this is the opportune time for you to carve out 15 minutes to share the tales of the best and brightest that our industry has to offer. It costs nothing but your time to submit a name, and the gratitude your MVP will feel will be well worth the effort.
Each year, we recognize 50-60 top performers with a profile that will appear in the May issue of ENX Magazine. We don’t have many rules for the program. In fact, there are only two: you cannot nominate yourself, and we can’t accept candidates who were honored the previous year. You can check out last year’s Difference Makers here.
Click here for the nomination form, which includes information and examples regarding submissions. Again, you have until March 11 to submit your nominations.
Need a little inspiration? In our estimation, a Difference Maker is the answer to all of these questions:
- Who can I count on in the clutch?
- Who goes above and beyond to help the company and its clients?
- Who offers project assistance without being asked?
- Who takes a task and runs with it?
- Who constantly stays late because they never pay attention to the clock?
- Who puts the company and team members above himself/herself?
- Who can you turn to for anything?
- Who is friendly and beloved?
- Who makes every day easier or brighter?
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you begin filling out the nomination form and want to continue it at a later time, click “save and continue later.” Please note the link that is then displayed, as you will need it to access the form in the future. You can also email yourself the link, which expires in 24 hours, through the “send link” option. Your best bet is to save the information on your local drive, just in case the form gremlin makes it disappear.
Don’t wait, nominate a candidate today! Feel free to contact Publisher Susan Neimes or yours truly if you have any questions. Also, we thank you in advance for helping to shed light on the men and women who have made our industry a model for the business community.
