The Change Makers Awards honor individuals whose actions have created meaningful, positive change within their organizations and communities. These leaders demonstrate how one person’s commitment, compassion, and initiative can spark lasting impact.

Their work strengthens teams, uplifts residents, and moves our field forward. Whether through daily acts of dedication or bold efforts that shift culture, they remind us that progress often begins with a single voice or idea. This award celebrates those who lead by example, inspire others to step forward, and help shape a stronger future for aging services in Missouri.
