The Lehigh Valley is a great place to live, play and do business. From renowned eateries to exceptional health care, top school districts and international business, there’s no wonder more and more people want to live here.

But beyond that, it’s the people who truly make the Lehigh Valley what it is. And it’s those people The Morning Call would like to recognize.

We are looking for the Lehigh Valley’s most influential people of 2025 — people who have made an impact on their community this year. We’re not just looking for politicians or business leaders — although they may certainly deserve a place on this list. We also want to know: Who are the everyday, unsung heroes whose names you don’t see in the headlines but have made a difference?

You can nominate candidates below. Please include as much detail as possible, and make sure to tell us specifically how you feel they have made a difference in 2025. Morning Call staff will review submissions to compile our list of the Lehigh Valley’s Most Influential.

The deadline to submit nominations is Wednesday, Nov. 26.
