Day & Zimmermann’s 2016 Strategic Growth Conference Attendees Take Action and Participate in Community Volunteer Programs

PHILADELPHIA, PA – January 19th , 2016 – Day & Zimmermann (D&Z), the century-old, family-owned provider of construction & engineering, staffing and defense solutions for leading corporations and governments around the world, demonstrated its commitment to community service by participating in half-day local volunteer programs as part of its Annual Strategic Growth Conference (SGC). The SGC brings together D&Z senior leaders to discuss the firm’s strategic goals and to better understand how to navigate future challenges and opportunities.

The community service efforts achieved maximum impact by sending teams of 8-12 senior leaders to 5 volunteer programs across the city of Philadelphia.  This volunteer effort helped to set the tone for our organization in 2016, as leadership is about setting a positive example for those not only within our company but also in our community.  

The organizations and efforts that D&Z assisted were selected to align with the company’s core values of safety, diversity, integrity and success. They included:

• American Red Cross – Prepared 500 fire safety bags that will be distributed to Philadelphia residents in order to prevent and prepare families for residential fires
  
• Urban League of Philadelphia – Participated in a Diversity & Inclusion workshop highlighting how it affects the regions’ market.
  
• Share Food Program (United Way) – Packed 10 pallets of food boxes and assisted in daily warehouse operational needs.
  
• Urban Affairs Coalition – Painted a variety of building items including the lobby, chairs, TV room, library and staircase railings.
  
• Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) – Assisted entrepreneurial students at Audenried High School in developing their business plans by offering feedback, recommendations and strategic advice.
