I have the opportunity to lead an amazing group of team members in various volunteering opportunities throughout the local community. Since creating the committee, we have volunteered well over 3200 hours for team members in need, animal shelters, local community engagements and programs. I’m proud of the culture they have helped cultivate and show how giving back and paying it forward can be a rewarding, life changing opportunity.
