Joining us on July 19th was Club Member Chris Jacobson and 2023-2024 Rotary Citizen of the Year who shared the award with his wife Rachel Horner, for a presentation about Convergint Social Responsibility Day and their Step Up Program. Chris was joined by several members of Convergint team in Lake Stevens today to provide work to benefit the Lake Stevens School District. Convergint is the largest privately held Fire and Security firm in the world with 10,000 employees world-wide. In 2002, the Founders created their Social Responsibility Day. It is the first time that Convirgent employees in the United States and Canada (9.200) workers fully paid, shutdown on the same day under the Step Up and Social Responsibility Day to help local communities. The Step Up program has served 100 schools with donations. Their donations through their partner-Verkada donated $30,000 and another $50,000 with labor and materials. Here are the employees from around the area that were in Lake Stevens on Friday, July 19th volunteering for projects with the Lake Stevens School District. You can see more of Chris presentation on YouTube-Lake Stevens Rotary-July 19th.So much more interesting information about "what" Convergint has done for our community. Lake Stevens has been the recipient of over $230,850 from Convergint and they showed a video about Enhancing School Security. Thank you to Chris and Convergent for supporting Lake Stevens! |
