GreatAmerica Financial Services Corp. has announced that two of its strategic technology analysts have been recognized as 2023 ENX Difference Makers. Robin Fonck and Heather Valvoda were among the 60 professionals selected for this honor after ENX Magazine solicited nominations from its readers earlier this year.

The Difference Makers award recognizes individuals who are making a significant impact in the rapidly evolving office technology industry through their expertise, leadership and commitment to collaboration and volunteerism. These professionals strive to uplift the channel with their contributions and dedication, and the award aims to celebrate their accomplishments.

"Our customers consistently express gratitude for the level of care these two demonstrate while enhancing their processes and technology workflows. We are honored to have Robin and Heather recognized for their work and included on this prestigious list."
