VICTORIOUS: Seven Years of Success! Emerge celebrates its 7th Anniversary.
Last January 27, 2023, employees and executives of Emerge (EmergeLocal Inc.) went out from their usual work-from-home setups to celebrate its 7th anniversary and give back to the community with the theme VICTORIOUS: Seven Years of Success.
It was a week-long celebration with virtual activities starting with the State of the Company Address presented by CEO and Founder Mr. Richard Noromor. The next day each department held its quarterly conversations to keep the team in check and update their quarterly goals.
Finally, the main event on January 27, 2023, was conducted in two parts.
DO GOOD DAY: Munting Tahanan ng Nazareth
Emerge started the afternoon with a “DO GOOD DAY” with Munting Tahanan ng Nazareth in Mabalacat, Pampanga. Employees and executives gathered to donate groceries and basic necessities to the primary takers. A mini-program occurred where orphans and selected Emergians showcased energetic dancing and singing. Representatives from the orphanage and Emerge gave short speeches to acknowledge the special occasion. A famous fast-food restaurant delivered the snack party, ending the program with smiles.
