How are you planning to give back to your community this holiday season?
I'd like to invite everyone in the events industry to intentionally look for ways to do good within their communities this holiday season. This industry can take a lot out of you, but it is also filled with some of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. We started our Holiday Giveback Program 4 years ago as a way to channel all of that potential for good into our local communities. This year I'd like to challenge my peers and friends in the events industry to participate as well, by finding little ways to help the people around you and in your community. Our team members put on their creative caps every year and every year I'm blown away by their examples of kindness and how they go above and beyond to find new ways to help others. Weather it's rounding up items for donation to local youth shelters, giving the money to local families going through hard times, buying gifts for holiday drives, donating to animal shelters or event just giving someone an extra special tip on their meal, these acts of kindness warm my heart and are the essence of the holiday season. If you're ready to get started, but don't know where to start you can check out some awesome examples of things my team has done in the past (https://lnkd.in/g5jkS7Dm). Otherwise, I wish you luck in your endeavors to do more good for those around you and I would love to hear about what you come up with!
