INA Recognized for Leadership in Community
Service
The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) has won a Communitas
Award for its leadership in community service. Communitas is a
Latin word that means 'people coming together for the good of a
community.' This award, inspired by the vision of a better world,
recognizes companies who have made a concerted effort to do their
part by giving back to their community.
“We think it is vital to invest in the communities we live and
work in,” says Bob Sanders, INA General Manager. “We’re fortunate
to have so many people on our team who are passionate about giving
back. As a business, we consider it a privilege to support our team
in donating their time to help others.”
INA employees have contributed their time, talent, and/or funds
to youth organizations, schools, and several organizations that
offer critical services both in the Little Rock area and throughout
Arkansas. Here are some of the things INA did in 2018 that resulted
in this award win:
- Inspiring the youth of Little Rock to
explore technology as a career choice through mentorships,
sponsoring and hosting STEM events for Girl Scouts, serving as
judges at science fairs, and more.
- Delivering nutritious lunch-time meals
to the homes of homebound elderly or disabled clients who can no
longer prepare balanced meals for themselves for the CareLink Meals
on Wheels program.
- Sorting and boxing food donations at
the Arkansas Food Bank to help fight hunger in Arkansas.
- Providing, preparing and serving a
wholesome and nutritious meal to the residents of Our House, an
organization that provides a pathway out of homelessness for
families and individuals in Central Arkansas.
