GEM members have spoken — and we’re proud to recognize Heather Harmon as our inaugural GEM of the Year.

This award honors the member who most consistently embodies the GEM ethos:
• Be Present
• Support the Community
• Show Curiosity
• Harness Authenticity
• Do the Work

Heather exemplifies these values every day. From showing up (online and in person), to asking thoughtful questions, to sharing insights that move conversations forward, to actively helping others along their journey — she represents what makes this community special.

GEM of the Year isn’t about titles or hype. It’s about steady, meaningful contribution. It’s about paying it forward. And it’s voted on by peers, not handed down as a vanity award.

Huge congrats, Heather — and thank you for raising the bar for what it means to be a GEM member. 💎
