Community
We view community involvement, employee volunteerism and philanthropy as key business strategies. In 2008, LANE PR implemented a formal nonprofit and volunteer program. The goal is to donate company resources and up to 30 hours per month of employee time to nonprofits each year.
Our outreach efforts are often a reflection of the passions and interests of our staff, and many LANE PR employees dedicate countless hours a month to their own causes.
