My latest article profiling the people of Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Jeremy Howard is a humble hero who makes our community a better place!
Not all superheroes wear capes, and Jeremy Howard is proof. This PG&E coworker has been giving back for years as a volunteer with the San Luis Obispo County Search and Rescue team. He embodies the spirit of giving, something we have been celebrating this holiday season by spotlighting our generous PG&E coworkers as part of our Campaign for Our Hometowns. Jeremy is proud to serve his community, whether he’s wearing a Search and Rescue badge or PG&E attire: “The way I look at it is what PG&E does is a public service, as well. I get used to being in that role, always serving the public, whether it’s paid or unpaid.” https://lnkd.in/g3WXH7kG #WhyIGive #PGEGives #Volunteers

That's a wonderful perspective Anoop N. Mehta, CPA, CGMA , I absolutely agree with you. Volunteering and giving back to society not only benefit those in need but also have a positive impact on the volunteers themselves. It's common for people to have concerns about time or resources, but it's important to remember that even small contributions can make a big difference. Volunteering doesn't always require a significant time commitment; even dedicating a few hours a week or participating in one-time events can have a meaningful impact. Engaging in community service allows you to learn and grow in various ways. It provides opportunities to develop new skills, gain valuable experience, and broaden your perspective by interacting with diverse individuals and communities. It helps build empathy and compassion, as you get the chance to understand and support those facing challenges different from your own. Additionally, being part of a volunteer network or an organization provides a support system. You can count on fellow volunteers, mentors, and the organization itself to provide guidance, assistance, and encouragement when faced with difficulties or obstacles. In the end, making a difference, no matter how small, in someone's life is incredibly rewarding. The impact you create may ripple through the community, inspiring others and creating a positive cycle of change. I encourage all my students, or anyone for that matter, to get involved in volunteering and giving back to society. It's an incredible way to create positive change and enrich one's own life in the process. The friendships forged through volunteering often extend beyond the realm of community service. They can become a source of support, encouragement, and inspiration in various aspects of your life. Whether you need someone to lean on during challenging times or someone to celebrate your achievements, having friends who share your values and passions can make a significant difference.

Volunteerism and Friendship I had a great time enjoying breakfast with some close friends. We met through Leadership Howard County (LHC), a program that educates and empowers local leaders to make a positive impact on their community. I joined #LHC in 2010 after being encouraged by my good friend Nasser Basir. LHC opened my eyes to the wonderful diversity and richness of Howard County, Maryland, where I live and now work. It also challenged me to think beyond my own personal and professional interests and to contribute to the common good. I learned a lot from the program and from the people I met along the way. One of the best parts of LHC was making lifelong friends like Alexander Adler, Brett Plano, Timothy Lewis, and Joe Garrison, CFP®, AIF® (#LHC2010, Best Class Ever). They are amazing individuals who share my passion for serving our community and making it a better place for everyone. We have supported each other, and we always have fun whenever we get together. I know that some people may be hesitant to volunteer and get involved in their community, thinking that they don’t have enough time or resources. But I always encourage them to take the leap and make the commitment. You will be surprised by how much you can learn and grow from the experience, and how rewarding it is to make a difference in someone’s life. And if you ever face any difficulties or obstacles, you can count on your fellow volunteers and the organization to have your back. I know this first hand from LHC, Maryland Association of CPAs (MACPA), and AICPA. Volunteering is not only a way of giving back, but also a way of making friends. I am grateful for LHC and for my friends who have enriched my life in so many ways. I hope you will join me in supporting LHC and other local organizations that are working hard to improve our community. #leadershipdevelopment, #community #volunteerism

Reflections of my time leading Girl Scouts Troop 6000 continue with a hat tip to the Troop 6000 partnerships of which I am most proud. Without their buy-in, consistent dedication, and collaboration, Troop 6000 would not be possible. Grateful for: *Shelter providers, some of the most undervalued workers in New York. Because of their care and hustle, Troop 6000 expanded from 1 shelter to 10 shelters in 3 months under my leadership. *Volunteers who were eager to help, and finally had a concrete outlet. Most New Yorkers have never been inside a shelter and feel helpless around the overwhelming homeless crisis. Your mentoring raised girls’ resilience. I’m grateful to the volunteers who took the plunge, dove into the discomfort of dismantling their perceptions of homeless people and reflected on any white savior tendencies. The program we designed brought together vastly diverse populations in NYC, people who wouldn’t typically mingle outside of a subway car. I am proud of that peripheral but revolutionary act of community building across wealth, race, housing status, neighborhood, and education levels. Thank you for allowing my team to be your guide! *Elected officials who passed housing and homelessness policies that are good for people in shelters and the surrounding community, especially Diana Ayala, Gale A. Brewer, and Carlina Rivera. *Donors who shared their resources to support our work, especially those who first asked, “What do girls need?” *NYC Department of Homeless Services …The massive shelter system is more complex than many realize; without public servants’ tireless work to make sure everyone in need of a place to sleep has one, Troop 6000 would not have been able to grow to 2,5000 members. The troop’s success rests on the backs of DHS creating a coordinated citywide social safety network. #homeless #shelter #Troop6000 #partnership #volunteer

To everyone who said it couldn’t be done—watch us! This year has pushed me to my limits. Four kids, launching a company, running a nonprofit, and still finishing up my final semester of full-time school. My days start at 4:30 AM and often don’t end until 10:00 PM. But through all the long hours, the exhaustion, and the grind, we are making incredible things happen. I’m not doing this alone. I’m blessed to have an amazing team, many of whom volunteer 2-30 hours a week to make our vision a reality. We’ve built something more than just a team—we’ve created a family. A culture of support, resilience, and healing that’s helping us break down barriers and change lives. By this time next year, I’ll be in grad school, and we’ll be providing 7-10 full-time, work-from-home jobs for military families—where parents can work with their kids by their side. We’re not just dreaming about the future; we’re building it. Tears filled my eyes after our last team call—WE ARE REALLY DOING IT!!! #Resilience #MilitaryFamilies #WorkFromHome #BreakingBarriers #GradSchoolBound #NonprofitLeadership #Teamwork #Volunteerism #HealingCulture
