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.
