Craig Speaking at CU and Omnicom


Below is Integer's website!


Denver Recycles


Hey guys, just signed up for this and thought it may be a good idea to do a posting on the intranet with a brief intro paragraph and a link to sign up. It's just for Denver unfortunately, but it's a start. Plus, little did I know...there is no sorting and it's free!

Another Coming Soon...Social Responsibilty Intranet Site


We have been working with James Suckow on revamping the iCare site on the intranet, which currently doesn't function as we would like. The new site will focus on the overarching umbrella of "Social Responsibility." This site will contain four buckets underneath including iCare, iGreen, Agency Supported Organizations, and Pro Bono. We hope this will be a more organized "one-stop-shop" for all things responsible. The new site will be more user friendly and will hopefully help explain the purpose of iCare and help employees understand what would qualify as an iCare event versus a post on the classified section of the intranet under "Community." Employees will also be able to see current and past Pro Bono work, iGreen opportunities and information, and a quick glance of Agency Supported Organizations including senior management's supported orgs and boards they serve on.
