Our Community Engagement Executive Board
Our Community Engagement Board was established to provide direction and counsel to our local community engagement teams worldwide, thus ensuring our standards for corporate social responsibility are met.
Led by our president and members of his executive team, along with team members from each location, the Board meets bi-monthly to evaluate donation requests and provide equality in the distribution of funds across our communities.
Team members who serve on the Board also lead their local facility's Community Engagement Council. These councils meet regularly to drive activities supporting our Community Engagement Programs mission.
