FortisTCI encourages all of its employees to donate their time, a task that no doubt they took seriously in 2014.
Giving back to the community became a “big deal” for FortisTCI staff who committed in total over 1,600 volunteer hours last year. The top five volunteers among the staff were; Mervin Forbes with 241 hours, Devon Cox with 173.5 hours, Ladonna Bassett with 167.5 hours, Roxie Williams with 155.5 hours, and Callis Jones with 129 hours.
In total, FortisTCI staff surpassed their 2014 target ending the year with 1,647.5 hours; over 400 hours more than required to meet their goal.
Mervin Forbes earned his 241 hours serving as the president of the TCI Rising Stars Basketball Club. It is a non-profit youth outreach program that he founded as a result of his personal passions and desire to give back to his community.
He also regularly volunteers as a basketball coach and mentor at a local high school in Providenciales. Devon Cox donated a large portion of his hours to his church’s youth ministry and used a significant portion of his vacation time to assist with annual programs abroad with his mentees.
Roxie Williams and Ladonna Bassett both volunteer with the TCI Rising Star Basketball Club and serve as key members of the association. They too gave time to other community projects mainly assisting with children’s programs. Callis Jones donated his time helping with rugby training across the islands and volunteering as a coach for youth and woman’s rugby, in addition to helping out in other community sports activities.
Keeping in line with a part of its mission, FortisTCI continues to support community initiatives and remains devoted to being a responsible corporate citizen across the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Activities such as the annual High School Science Fair, graduation programs, annual FortisTCI Spring (or Fall) Walk & Run, the adopt a school program, along with numerous other civic and cultural events, benefited from portions of nearly $97,000.00 in monetary and in-kind donations issued by FortisTCI during 2014.
FortisTCI believes that embracing the community in which you live and work is an integral part of what the company and its employees are here to accomplish.
Recognizing top volunteers is a small way in which FortisTCI aims to say to these major contributors, “Thank you for your selfless and tireless work. You make a difference.” With increased volunteerism within the organization over the past three years, FortisTCI employees are looking forward to another record-breaking year in 2015, giving back to the community through volunteering.
