It was a jubilant evening on March 28 when DLE members Prince Abanulo, Josh Brilliant, Kalee Carmel and Cameron Hadley walked across the stage at Berkshire Community College’s Boland Theater to receive 40 Under Forty Berkshires awards. Unable to attend was the fifth member of the DLE’s Fantastic 5 crew, Allison Schmitt.

The DLE was a sponsor of this year’s program, which attracted hundreds, including many family members and friends of our proud and inspired winners. You can get a sense of everyone’s energy and the occasion’s effervescence in the accompanying photo collage.

Since 2019, the DLE has successfully nominated 16 members to receive this prestigious award, which recognizes influential rising leaders for their professional and community engagement.
