Recognizing Super SuiteImpact Ambassador Laura Bowman

When we think about volunteering at NetSuite, we often focus on the fun and meaningful parts of the experience —­ from getting to work side-by-side with colleagues we may have never met before to serving a hot meal to someone in our community.

What often gets overlooked amidst the excitement of each new experience is the hard work that goes into putting each activity together. Each event involves so much time and effort, on details such as finding the local community organization and ensuring that the event is a success for both the nonprofit and the volunteers.

And while every ambassador deserves to be recognized for their hard work and dedication, this blog post is specifically dedicated to celebrating Laura Bowman, the SuiteImpact Ambassador at Bronto Software in Durham.

To Enhance Climate Resilience, Invest in Communities

Bangladesh is ranked among the countries most vulnerable to climate change. Last week, I saw that risk firsthand while attending the 10th annual Community-Based Adaptation conference in Dhaka. In conversations with climate and community adaptation experts, as well as through field trips into the city, a clear message prevailed: Companies must do more to build climate resilience by investing in communities and in those most disproportionately affected, including women. This will, in turn, generate business benefits.
