The devastation and tragic human toll resulting from the recent earthquake in Haiti is difficult to comprehend. This region will need the continued attention of the global community, not just in these weeks and months after the earthquake, but for many years to come.
Tragic events like the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile remind us all – companies and individuals alike – of the responsibility we have as members of the global community. These events are also often catalysts for action. We at Concur have the good fortune to work at a company and live within a country whose capacity for compassion never ceases to amaze me.
I recently announced at the Fusion client event that Concur would be donating $25,000 to the Haitian relief effort. Not to be outdone, the Concur executive team personally matched that figure. And then, our employees mobilized, adding their individual contributions to that total, and now, Concur and its employees have pledged close to $65,000 to help the people of Haiti. These donations will go to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund to help the Haitian people reclaim their country and rebuild their lives.
