It’s the third week of October which means we at NEC are in the middle of our United Way fund raising campaign. Last year we ranked 81st out of all the companies in the state for the size of our campaign. That’s pretty good for a company with 42 employees. Many of our employees contribute directly through payroll deduction each week and we run a lot of internal events like yard sales, bake sales, lunches etc. The fund raising is fun and it’s for a very good cause.

We’re also happy to be installing a new call center for 2-1-1 Maine. Much like the 4-1-1 or 9-1-1 service, Maine callers can dial 2-1-1 for information about health and human services available locally. The new call center will help 2-1-1 save money and improve their services to the community.

It’s great to be involved in contributing to the community that we do business in each day!
