What is a change maker? They are someone who sees a problem or challenge and takes action to find and implement a solution. You often find them working behind the scenes, looking for flexibilities in policies and rules, pushing limits and taking on challenges others believe are impossible.
The 2021 BPA Administrator’s Excellence Awards recognizes 37 BPA change makers for their willingness to identify challenges, develop solutions and take action to influence change for the better. These engineers, communicators, attorneys, diversity and inclusion advocates, and others - all nominated by their peers - are some of the people behind the power that have enabled BPA to keep the lights on in the Northwest for more than 80 years, even amid the most challenging times.
