  6. How do we make a difference? At the employee level – it’s all about generating awareness, letting them know we will match their financial gifts for educational and social programs dollar for dollar. At the community level – we have an active voice. We maximize this voice in many ways from governance to sponsorships, to employee involvement. We like to be the go-to corporation not only for our involvement, but for our thought leadership and ingenuity as we work through issues that may affect our workforce and the residents of our community. Yes, community relations is about coordinating our vast resources, but its also about the RELATIONSHIP we have with our community. Our relationship is an ongoing dialogue and one we are proud to be a part of. 5 Community Relations – Expanding our Reach
