July 2021 Spotlight

In this issue of Spotlight, we introduce you to Volunteer Hub, a new volunteer management portal we are using to help organize and communicate about events. We are sharing ideas of ways our companies are shining a light on important social issues and bringing teams together by launching activities tied to awareness months. As our Social Purpose activities begin to ramp up, you might find yourself wanting to get involved in your community right now, so we have provided some ideas and links to online resources to help you get started. We also remember our colleague and friend David Epstein, who has been part of the FirstService family since 1984 and tragically lost his life in the Surfside building collapse.

Awareness Months – Uniting Teams Around Important Causes and Issues
