Social Involvement
I strongly encourage our professionals to become socially involved not only because it involves giving back to one’s community but also because it allows a person to grow in what is often a different role. Doing so also adds interesting people to your social network, sometimes even expanding your business network, and it contributes to the firm’s good reputation.
