Michelle DiMuro Named Non-Profit Leader of the Year

THANK YOU to everyone who voted, and then voted again, and again, and again! It was a Sally Field moment for me - "You like me. You really like me!" I also know that if you put the word out to veterans, they take action! I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by such a wonderful community.

Earlier this year one of our students shared how she learned from her veteran that "to try is to succeed, and to not try is to fail." Another lesson she shared is to "try to do a little better each day, and see where that takes you." How these lessons resonate!

The entire Imprints of Honor staff and Board, our community of volunteers, along with the support of our donors and sponsors, have been doing this all long. Small steps over time lead to wonderful impact. Thank you for believing in our mission, in the possibility of what could be, and in our ability to try, learn, and succeed. With your continued involvement, we know our future and mission will flourish. - Gratefully, Michelle

AZ Big Media's Champions of Change Awards
A crowd of nearly 400 of the most innovative business leaders in Arizona gathered Tuesday, May 13 to honor the finalists and winners at the Third Annual Champions of Change Awards, hosted by AZ Business magazine, a publication of AZ Big Media.
"Becoming a champion of changes in business demands courage, resilience, and unwavering belief, said AZ Big Media Vice President and Publisher Amy Lindsey. It means challenging the status quo, inspiring others through action, and embracing uncertainty with hope. True change-makers lead with heart, lift others as they rise, and transform challenges into opportunities that spark lasting, meaningful impact."
And that's what the Champions of Change Awards are all about. Champions of Change are those individuals and organizations who lift others up, give them strength, make them better, and in the process, they elevate entire communities and business sectors. (AZ Big Media, May 14, 2025)
