No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. — Aesop
As we planned for the 2015 department-wide Giving Back initiative, we once again followed the simplified framework that was created last year to help us achieve our stated goals. This framework includes the following elements:
- Identify a local, well-respected organization that supports a value system in line with our own at Commonwealth.
- Organize a series of events that would allow people to participate in any manner they could, whether with their time, money, or donated goods.
- Cultivate collaboration across the firm and within our department while maintaining a fun, welcoming environment.
- Celebrate the success of this initiative and of the impact possible through teamwork.
