Our Iridia in the Community initiative has wrapped up and we’d like to thank our staff for participating in the activity. The goal of Iridia in the Community was to provide our employees with a unique way of engaging their community through charitable activities. We wanted “community” to be a broad topic and provide no constraints as to what the definition of that was.
What came of this was a wonderful range of unique donations to many different organizations and causes. We’ve provided a brief wrap up video below:
