NEXT EXECS' SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE

Join the NextExecs in our 2nd Annual Backpack & School Supply Drive to benefit MCPS students, grade K-12. From now through August 11th, we are calling on all our GBCC members and community partners to help ensure our students are prepared for a successful school term when they return in the Fall. Some of our members last year held their own internal school supply drive and had the items delivered to our GBCC office in downtown Bethesda. Others supported the drive financially by donating money via our Chamber’s Venmo account or by sending a check payable to Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce. Please enter #mcpsbackpackdrive23 in the memo line. All levels of support are greatly appreciated, and we will also be calling on volunteers to fill the backpacks and make the drop offs to area schools. Last year we filled over 300 backpacks and this year our goal is to fill at least 500, can we count you to help us reach that goal? 

 

Click the button or contact the GBCC staff at

staff@greaterbethesdachamber.org for the full school supply list.  


Minimum suggested donation amount of $20.00 is requested. Click here to donate via Venmo | Greater Bethesda Chamber or by check (please denote "backpack drive" in memo). Thank you!

AGE FRIENDLY EMPLOYMENT


According to the World Economic Forum, employers are discovering that decades of life and work experience enable workers aged 50 and older to be resilient problem solvers, critical thinkers and effective leaders and mentors. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that older workers stay in their jobs longer than their younger counterparts.

 

To help employers attract older jobseekers and retain them, the Encore Network offers tips, techniques and data in a new toolkit called “An Employer’s Guide to Engaging Older Workers.” It is available for free download at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1owkMpnUp6H-0F5k7Z80FeR2vzXqigcWa/view .
