Marketing Intern Elsie Magwire, from Northeast Community College, embodies our Community pillar this holiday season by leading a Give Back initiative.
Giving back to the community can be done in many ways. Thankfully, one way I can invest in the community is through my work. My name is Elsie Magwire and I am a marketing intern at Northeast Community College in Norfolk, NE. In my time with Chartwells at Northeast, I have been able to participate in the operations of the company on many levels. Recently, I was able to be a part of Northeast Chartwells giving back to the community of Norfolk.
I assisted with the donation of cookies to the Noon Optimist Club of Norfolk on November 19. These cookies were for their annual Thanksgiving dinner for underprivileged children and families in the community. This Thanksgiving meal provides community members in need with the opportunity to enjoy the holiday in a way they might not otherwise be able to.
Representing our company, school, and community in this way reminds me that business and marketing is not always about financial statements and social media posts. Involvement, connections, and relationships in the community are so important at every level. Being able to experience the simple joy of making a small difference in someone’s life is why I love being part of Chartwells.
