As a new membership year gets underway, we want to give our 2023-2024 Executive Committee a chance to tell you, in their own words, why they volunteer and what makes AWCI special to them. Next up is AWCI Treasurer Jeff Dreisewerd. How long has your company been a member of AWCI? Since 1994 How long have you been involved in the organization? 11 years Why are you involved? I was given the opportunity 11 years ago to attend a convention, and I really wanted to understand and learn about how other regions and companies operated in their areas. Also, I was surprised by the friendliness of the whole organization and its members. I wanted to get involved to grow personally and help our company grow. I want to give back to others who have invested a lot of time and money in my career, and I want to give back and hopefully help our industry stay as fresh and relevant as possible. What is the value of membership for you? The network of people, companies, suppliers and manufacturers, being involved with a peer group exchanging ideas and best practices to move our company/industry forward and access safety, technical information, educational programs and publications. It allows our company to stay fresh and aligned with the newest trends in the industry and, at times, showcase what we do as a company through some of the awards programs. Many employees participate in other committees throughout AWCI, giving them a chance to grow as individuals and set new paths/directions for their future. Why should others get involved in AWCI? To understand and educate themselves and their companies on the different ways that national businesses operate, networking with all attendees at events, be it manufacturers, contractors or suppliers, and taking advantage of all the educational and technical resources offered through the membership.

It’s B Corp Month! 🎉 With this being the first for Avery & Brown | B Corp™, the entire team came together over the past couple of weeks to put our heads together and create a strategy to get everyone involved in the celebrations. For my first task during #BCorpMonth, Tilly and I were tasked with completing B Lab UK’s ‘Behind the B’ training course for some personal development. This course is useful for anyone looking to learn a bit more about the B Corp movement and what it has set out to achieve. This course takes around 90 minutes and is a great introduction to what B Corp is all about. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e-ME9kP9 Tilly’s also been putting a lot of work into pushing our #OperationRegeneration efforts forward, and I’m sure she’ll be giving some updates on how that’s going throughout the rest of March. Keep your eyes peeled over at Avery & Brown | B Corp™ and the rest of the team’s pages (Russ, Tim, Beth, and Tilly) for more updates on what we’re up to over the next few weeks. #RegenerativeBusiness #BCorp #Sustainability

Warren Partners started our journey towards B Corp certification last year. We are excited by the prospect of joining fellow purpose driven businesses in a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.    We are entering 'B Corp Month' having completed Evalution stage and are taking steps towards becoming B Corp certified. However, B Corp Certification isn’t a destination. It’s an invitation to join the journey to better business. B Corp Certification designates that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors ranging from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, we are expected to:   ◼ Demonstrate high social and environmental performance ◼ Make a legal commitment to be accountable to all our stakeholders, not just shareholders ◼ Exhibit transparency by allowing information about our performance to be measured against B Lab’s standards and made publicly available   We look forward to updating you about our B Corp journey....watch this space! #bcorp #bcorpmonth #purposedrivenbusiness

Jacqueline Engelsman, PCM, CDMP, our Director of Marketing and Business Development, recently served on a panel at her alma mater, Rider University, for its Marketing Industry Night.
