Credera employees served local Dallas and Denver communities on Friday, May 17th, during the second annual Credera Service Day. This company-wide initiative offered approximately 150 Credera employees the opportunity to engage in meaningful volunteer activities supporting Mercy Street and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
“Credera Service Day is a day where we give our time, talent, and treasure to further a cause much greater than ourselves,” said Laura Looney, Credera Office Manager and Service Day coordinator. Even if only one life was impacted in a positive way, then it’s all worth it.”
“Our hope, as leaders of Credera, is to inspire our teams to serve the communities where we live – not because people need a handout, but because people need help,” said David Dobat, Credera Vice President. “For employees who have served in a similar capacity, we hope Credera Service Day will inspire them to serve more. For those who have not volunteered, our hope is to inspire them to think of opportunities to serve beyond themselves.”
