16 June: IBM turned 100

It was 100th Year anniversary of IBM. Glyn one of our CSC team has brought few IBM badges, which was issued by IBM for this celebration. He gave everyone IBM badge (in pic above), we proudly put on and even talked to client about it. This small gesture of Glyn to bring badges was really touching.

On the day IBM globally has spent effort and time to build community through our Global Volunteer Network. Some examples are :
In Madrid, Spain, a team of nearly 70 IBMers and retirees are helping immigrants develop technical, personal and professional skills to improve their chances of finding good jobs.

In Santiago, Chile, IBMers are advising female entrepreneurs on business skills such as sales, purchasing, finance, taxation, marketing and communications.

In the United States, a researcher combines extreme activities—skydiving in a vertical wind tunnel, for example—with science to inspire high
school and college students.
