You can watch a video to learn more about our Fellows and their impact <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WfM7fDeeKB8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been committed to these issues, so focusing our 2020 Fellowship on these areas was a natural next step to deepen our impact. Fellows work with GLG in an intensive multi-year partnership that provides free access to the full suite of GLG product offerings and the support of hands-on GLG client service teams. In seven years, we\u2019ve welcomed 65 leaders into our global community.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s still a great deal of work to do \u2013 and I\u2019m again asking for your help to keep spreading the word. Many of the organizations we support, with over $2M in pro bono services so far this year, came to GLG directly from client or community referrals, or were nominated by GLG employees through our <a href=\"https:\/\/glginsights.com\/news\/glg-wins-recognition-in-fast-companys-world-changing-ideas-competition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>award-winning<\/strong><\/a> Social Impact Partners Program. <strong>If you know of an organization that could use our help, or if you have expertise to share, let us know <a href=\"https:\/\/mklink.glg.it\/GGY0MF200p0DY0mh0000040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been so motivating to feel the determination and unity with which the entire GLG community has responded to the uncertainty of 2020. On behalf of everyone at GLG: thank you.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m proud of the hundreds of clients and experts who have either referred nonprofits to us or volunteered their expertise. And I\u2019m proud of the nearly 250 GLGers who have stepped up to directly support this work (over 10% of our global workforce), all while working overtime to support our clients. It\u2019s because of this extra effort that our business has stayed robust throughout 2020, with no layoffs, furloughs, or pay cuts (in fact, we\u2019re hiring to meet the booming demand for insight).<\/p>\n<p>As we all navigate the fourth quarter and look ahead to 2021, we want to continue to pitch in to help solve the world\u2019s challenges wherever we can. GLG is proud to play a part in driving progress forward \u2013 but we\u2019re not satisfied, and we want to keep finding new ways to help, with your partnership. <a href=\"https:\/\/mklink.glg.it\/GGY0MF200p0DY0mh0000040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Our inbox<\/strong><\/a> is always open, so please reach out.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for being a part of our community.
