Editor’s Note: This post, announcing the 2024 Make a Difference Award program, originally appeared on Aug. 3, 2024. We updated it on Aug. 29, 2024, to include additional information. Please make your submissions today!
Commercial Integrator seeks not only to help integrators run their businesses better but also to spotlight the incredible things that integration companies do across the country and around the world. Over the past year, even as interest rates remained high and businesses faced challenges, those in our industry selflessly helped charities, groups of people and single individuals. By doing things both large and small, members of the integration community made a difference for those in need.
This year, once again, ADI and CI are partnering to recognize, honor and celebrate an integration firm that has made a difference with its philanthropic efforts.
The integration firm might have raised money for an established charity. It might have done pro bono work for a local business or house of worship in need. It might even have helped a single person in some small way that made a big difference in their life.
Make a Difference Award Program
Whatever the integrator did, we want to know about it! Integration firms can nominate themselves for the Make a Difference Award. In addition, others from outside the company can nominate a deserving integrator honoree. Submit now!
What we’re asking for when you make your submission is a story. What was the impetus for your company making a difference? How did your integration firm get involved? What was the impact of the philanthropic effort? Give us a sense of how an integration firm like yours made a real, measurable difference for those in need.
We’re also asking for some great photos. These could be of the project the firm completed, the team doing some good, the big reveal or anything else related to the charitable act, donation or philanthropic effort.
We will announce the winner of the ADI and Commercial Integrator Make a Difference Award later this year. ADI will honor the winner with a Make a Difference Trophy and additional prizes. A couple of years ago, for example, ADI provided lunch at the winner’s office from a favorite local food truck.
We look forward to learning about all the good work that integrators have done this year. Submit your nomination now!
