Danyele Easterhaus, Executive Director of Student Impact, is the first Westfield Way Award recipient of 2022. She has been involved with Student Impact since 2005 and is extremely passionate about serving Westfield’s youth community.

“For nearly two decades, Danyele has dedicated her life to meeting students exactly where they are; creating spaces where students can feel safe and be themselves,” said her nominator. “She is passionate, fierce and embodies a relentless commitment to students.”

The Westfield Way Award is a monthly presentation given to a deserving Westfield citizen or employee. It started with a simple idea from a dedicated Westfield resident; to honor someone in Westfield who embodies customer service, hospitality and the “Westfield Way” in the city.

Community members are welcome to nominate someone who they believe deserves this recognition. Nominations are reviewed and selected monthly, and the nomination form can be found by clicking here.
