Last week the Corporate Communications Team met in Boston for their annual in-person meeting. Together, they conducted a comprehensive review of their SMART goals for the year and discussed areas of opportunity for FY26. The team also met with Emily Sweeney, VP of Talent Strategy Partner and Strategic Initiatives, to explore flexible work styles and best practices for effectively collaborating with diverse leadership styles. In the spirit of giving back, the team dedicated some of their time together to volunteer with Story Pirates, a non-profit organization whose mission is to celebrate the words and ideas of young people and to create confident, literate students equipped with a variety of tools for written, verbal and artistic self-expression. The team had an incredible experience reading stories from kids around the world and writing heartfelt notes of encouragement in response. It was a productive few days for the team and they enjoyed being together and engaging in valuable discussions. Billy Brittingham, Brooke Carey, Wesley Coffman, Christina Coleman, Ydalia A.

It's more important than ever that students are equipped with cybersecurity skills at a young age. "I think we owe it to our kids and that generation to bring them up to speed on this education. They’re always on devices, so we owe it to them to, as best as we can, provide them information, to [teach] that security, because that’s the biggest risk to them," says Infosec VP, Keatron Evans. Learn how they're providing cybersecurity lessons in K-12 schools in his latest interview with IT Brew: https://lnkd.in/eZaMw64Z #Cybersecurity #SkillsDevelopment #Education"
