Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?” For many AT&T employees, the answer is serving their communities in their own unique ways a few hours every month. Some have mentored students in science and math by building a robot for a national competition, others have organized a USO (United States Organizations) event for active duty service members and veterans, and a few even planned kayak trips for youths. Over a year, these individual hours of serving can add up to hundreds of service hours, which contribute to millions of hours across our company.
This month, we recognize 4,527 employees, including 268 in Illinois, who logged more than 100 hours of community service in 2015. They are receiving the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA), a prestigious honor given by the President of the United States in recognition of sustained volunteer service. Many employees this year volunteered more than 500 hours and will be honored with a Gold Award for their outstanding service to their community. Additionally, we are recognizing 77 international employees who will also be honored for their service. |
