CA Together in Action Provides Employees Time
to Give Back Around the World
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) recently launched the kickoff of CA
Together in Action, the company’s worldwide employee volunteer
month. This year marks the ninth anniversary of the initiative,
which takes place in communities around the globe where CA
Technologies has a presence.
CA Together in Action gives employees the opportunity to take
time out of the work day to participate in a variety of volunteer
activities. Projects include park and beach clean-ups, mentoring
children, promoting science, technology, engineering and math
(STEM) education, building affordable housing and assisting food
banks with feeding the hungry.
"Participation levels have continued to grow year after year,
demonstrating the commitment CA Technologies employees have to
sharing their time and talents in the communities where they live
and work," said Erica Christensen, vice president, Corporate Social
Responsibility, CA Technologies. “We are excited to once again be
working with so many great organizations around the globe.”
Since its inaugural year in 2005, CA Together in Action has
provided support to more than 1,200 volunteer projects with
approximately 45,000 hours of community service. While CA
Technologies has annual initiatives, like CA Together in Action
throughout the month of October, and a Green Week of environmental
programs in April to celebrate Earth Day, volunteer opportunities
are available year round and employees are able to use up to three
work days each year to give back.
Partner organizations from communities in the U.S. and abroad
continue to express their excitement in partnering with CA
Technologies during CA Together in Action.
“The Atlanta Community Food Bank is very appreciative of CA
Technologies and its employee volunteers who will be participating
in our sorting and repacking sessions for the eighth consecutive
year,” said Vilma Wallace, volunteer manager. “Year after year, we
look forward to this dedicated group of volunteers who assist us in
the fight to end hunger in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia
areas.”
“Through technology courses for students, equipment donations
and environmental improvements, CA Technologies and its employees
have supported the Czech Republic’s School for the Deaf Holečkova
for several years,” said Mgr. Václav Chmelíř, school director. “We
are excited to have CA employees back again to participate in
activities for CA Together in Action and look forward to continuing
this great partnership in support of children who are hearing
impaired.”
