I was a senior marketing manager at a Fortune 500 company for years. Our community development team also reported directly to me. A big part of the latter is working closely with nonprofits and community organizations. Anyway, my team and I led a collaborative effort with Feeding America and Remote Area Medical (RAM) to provide take-home grocery boxes to everyone who attended a large medical clinic in Far Southwest Virginia one weekend.

(RAM also did the first medical supply drone delivery on that day and the drone is in the Smithsonian FYI.)

The appreciation and gratitude from medical clinic attendees was perhaps the most fulfilling moment of my work life.

We came together with an idea. Met over a two month span. Transformed the idea into a reality.

For me, that's how most projects should be.
