Our guest on this episode was Meredith Lee. Meredith is the Program Director of the Russ Berrie Making a Difference Awards. Not only is she a difference maker herself, but she is surrounded by difference-makers. In addition to discussing the awards program, we discussed ten traits of difference makers.
The Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award is a prestigious awards program that honors "unsung heroes" who demonstrate their passion and unstoppable commitment to serve the most vulnerable.
