Episode Overview

It turns out that giving back to the community can mean a win-win scenario for both the organizations you support as well as your own firm. What you may think of as a monetary expense you’re taking on is actually providing you with both tangible and intangible returns. Join us as we discuss the importance of giving back to your community with purpose. Guest Emily Gardner, Chief Lending Officer at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group, shares how their corporate giving program has made a world of difference in their employee engagement and retention efforts while also positively impacting Atlantic Bay Mortgage’s brand.
