Winter, Wyman in the Community

At Winter, Wyman, not only are we dedicated to helping our candidates and clients grow, but we are committed to being a good corporate citizen. We feel strongly that our firm and employees have been fortunate in their careers and educational opportunities and that we have an obligation to give back to those who have been less fortunate. We have a Manager of Community Development who oversees all volunteer services, committee activities and donations.

We are extremely proud that more than 85% of our employees participate in company-sponsored community service activities or drives during work hours and personal time. Such acts range from fulfilling the holiday wish lists of DSS children, to donating computer equipment to the Waltham Boys and Girls Club Teen Center (and sending our Help Desk to set it up and install appropriate software and firewalls), to reading to young children and distributing free books via the ReadBoston Summer Storymobile, to teaching second graders economics and business through Junior Achievement's JA in a Day.  We regularly serve lunch at a Boston haven for homeless women and throw a birthday party for the children in a local shelter. 

Ruth Wyser, Winter, Wyman Community Development Manager; Lynn Margherio, Cradles to Crayons Founder; Bob Boudreau, Winter, Wyman CEOIn 2009, we participated in 32 community development events, fulfilled the holiday wish lists of 73 DSS children, held four drives (for clothing, toys and food), awarded three educational grants and four charitable grants and put in 679 volunteer hours. Also in 2009, for the third year in a row, our employees voted to forgo a holiday party in lieu of donating the funds to a charity of their choice.  The recipient, Cradles to Crayons, used the donation to help replenish their supply of children's pants.  Read more here.
