In Could, Cisco ThousandEyes hosted its third annual Associate Connection – an occasion devoted to sharing concepts, creating connections, and fascinating with our channel companions. This 12 months, within the spirit of collaboration, ThousandEyes partnered with Cisco’s Partnering for Objective group to include a significant giveback factor into the agenda.
Looking for essentially the most impactful option to collaborate with our channel companions, we engaged the experience of a third-party social influence occasion provider, Give to Get. They helped to determine potential native onsite and offsite giveback alternatives, starting from tackling youth starvation and homelessness to supporting the setting and STEM outreach amongst younger girls and boys. All actions have been designed to immediately profit the St. Petersburg neighborhood, the place the Associate Connection occasion was happening.
The ThousandEyes group finally selected the choice that addressed youth starvation, and we scheduled a 75-minute Partnering for Objective session with a meal-packing giveback exercise because the final session on day one in every of our two-day summit agenda. The giveback exercise supported the Feed our Future program of the United Meals Financial institution of Plant Metropolis (UFBPC), a associate of Meals on Wheels for Youngsters. Feed our Future ensures that kids have year-round entry to nutritious meals, crucially throughout faculty breaks when entry to free or reduced-cost meals supplied by the Nationwide Faculty Lunch Program is proscribed.
Throughout the giveback session, Cisco ThousandEyes attendees, alongside channel companions attendees packed 400 snack packs, totaling roughly 1,000 kilos of meals. This hands-on exercise not solely fostered associate collaboration but in addition made a tangible distinction within the lives of native kids.
Reflecting on the occasion, ThousandEyes International Director, Associate Technique and Options Engineering Tanner Bechtel famous, “I watched jackets come off, sleeves get rolled up, and other people use the brilliance they offer to their organizations be became an awe-inspiring collaborative occasion for the betterment of people that actually wanted a hand up. This half—sharing of our time, our work—with humility and kindness—these are the issues that matter.”
Because the International ThousandEyes Gross sales Chief, it was unimaginable to see how a lot our companions appreciated this expertise. Because the inception of Associate Connection, my group and I’ve at all times sought methods to provide again to the communities that we go to. This exercise supplied a possibility to make a significant influence as a group and share the goodness with our companions.
The success of Associate Connection and its giveback factor highlights the ability of partnership in amplifying optimistic influence. By integrating a giveback exercise into our occasion, we hope that Cisco ThousandEyes units a strong instance for others to observe.
