Back to top 4-23-09: AEC Group Offers Businesses A New Way To Support The Community In Tough TimesAEC Group Offers Businesses A New Way To Support The Community In Tough Times Western Pennsylvania, April 23 2009 McKeesport - based AEC Group announces today the launch of a new program to help local businesses support the community in these difficult times. When a business hires staff through AEC Group Staffing Division, a contribution will be made in the client’s name to a charity, equal to 10% of the placement fee (for full-time hires), or $0.50 per hour (for temporary placements). Clients will be able to select their favorite charity, or choose from a list of participating organizations. “Charitable organizations are having difficulty maintaining services due to reduced giving, just when the number of families who rely on these services is on the rise due to the economic downturn,” explained Rob Hazlett, Director of Business Development of AEC Group. “The corporations of Western Pennsylvania have historically been very generous donors, but with the current climate, many organizations are being forced to cut back or suspend their giving this year. This program makes it possible for them to continue that giving…to continue to say… yes, we can help.” The program will make contributions of approximately $1,000 per person annually for temporary staffing, and potentially thousands of dollars from placements fees. If only 100 people are placed annually through this program, the total contributions could approach $100,000. per year. “Community support has always been part of AEC Group’s corporate identity,” says Hazlett. “We realize it may be difficult for many of our business partners to continue giving as they have generously for many years. This is why AEC Group is launching this program, not as a short term project, but as a new way of doing business. AEC Group is the first organization to tie charitable donations to Staff Augmentation Services. This is truly a unique opportunity which offers unmatched value to our clients and our community.” About AEC Group, Inc.
