From dedicated educators to volunteer leaders in arts, culture and sport, it鈥檚 people who make a community. If you know a hard-working individual making a difference, wants to hear about them!
A faith-based organization with deep connections to its community, is committed to what matters to its members. A big part of that is the annual Community Service Awards, a celebration of local people doing great things to make the world a better place.
鈥淥ur mission at KCU calls for us to care about the community and contribute to Sikh education, culture and religion. We believe that sponsoring these Community Service Awards is a unique opportunity for a financial institution as giving back is part of our DNA,鈥� says CEO Dalbir Singh Mehta. 鈥淲e particularly enjoy recognizing contributions made by the Sikh community for the betterment of society. Our corporate policy is to return 10% of our net income to the community each year 鈥� amounting to over $300,000 in 2017 鈥� so we are obviously backing up our words with action. As CEO of KCU I am proud to sponsor these awards.鈥�
