We are Not Alone
Martha C. Craft, Orkin, Inc., Atlanta, GA
No – I’m not talking about little green men. I’m talking about the community and our place in it. Large or small, each member of our industry makes a difference in the community…consciously or not. Community involvement – especially when it furthers the mission of protecting public health and property – is critical to our success as a company as well as an industry. Orkin has pioneered many national partnerships, but we also recognize that local community involvement yields a very targeted impact and builds customer and employee loyalty quickly. We’ll discuss examples that are the best of both worlds.
