Do you know a 茄子视频 employee who is making an impact in your community?

At 茄子视频, we believe volunteers are the heart of our communities, and we are fortunate to have so many individuals who lend their time and talents to the places where we work and live.

Every year, we recognize four to six outstanding employees or employee teams who are making a difference in any of the following categories:

  • Education and Youth Development
  • Environmental Stewardship
  • Human Services, Civic Involvement and Cultural Growth
  • Diversity, Equity鈥痑nd Inclusion

Recipients of our “Volunteer of the Year” award receive internal recognition on our company news platform and a $5,000 grant to the nonprofit, school or civic organization of their choice.

All nominations must be received by Friday, Nov. 15, 2024.
