Director of Corporate Philanthropy for the Nashville Office Anne Duggan has been working hard to align AIL Tennessee with some progressive Not for Profit organizations that share similar values and ethics as our firm. 'Career Gear" (www.careergear.org) is a great organization that collects mens business clothing to help men from underprivileged backgrounds with job interviews. "The whole concept is very exciting for us;" says Anne Duggan, "We wear suits and ties (men) all week long, lots of us have clothing that no longer fits, and for us to give it to an organization that will use it to help someone else have a chance at a career... How many old ties do you have in your closet?" With AIL Tennessee undergoing a huge period of growth currently the timing for this couldn't be better. With more access to the community, and a larger work force than ever before, "there is an opportunity for us to engage the community towards social activitism, to be a part of something bigger than a 9 to 5 job, to really make a difference." comments Brett MacCannell.
