By Michael Cogan, President and CEO, Ohio, Northern Trust
In October, 2021 our Northern Trust Team engaged in a volunteer project which was coordinated for us by BVU. As long time business members, BVU has typically organized a volunteer project for us every year, but this year was different. After nearly two years of the pandemic, and remote work, we were anxious to do something in which all our partners could participate in outdoors. BVU coordinated a Lake Shore clean-up project at Edgewater and Bonnie Park for our team. It was a delightful day of camaraderie and community engagement. This afternoon of engagement with colleagues helped our team transition during our return to office. It reminded us that we are at our best when helping others – which is part of our client service commitment at Northern Trust.
