Protiviti Dallas represents at the 2011 Autism Speaks Walk


On Saturday, November 12th, the Protiviti Dallas Office sent over 50 volunteers to the 2011 Autism Speaks Walk. Autism Speaks is dedicated to increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders, to funding research into the causes, prevention and treatments for autism, and to advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. Over 8500 people were present at the event and over $500,000 was raised for the cause. Protiviti volunteers managed the registration table, passed out t-shirts to supporters, helped out at the information desk and most importantly, accounted for all of the money collected on the day of the event. It was an incredible effort by our team and something we were proud to be a part of - some of us even saw Elvis! If you have questions about autism or want more information about future events, please visit www.autismspeaks.org.

Elvis even made an appearance!

Friendly Tailgating

On October 29, 2011 - Protiviti Houston took over a coveted spot within Spence Park at Texas A&M University for our annual tailgate. While football season has been a common theme for our recruiting blog this fall, we want to point out we recruit at multiple Universities across the United States; which made this tailgate particularly special. 

Senior Consultant and Aggie Former Student, Vijan; Director and Aggie Former Student, Tyler; Manager and Missouri Alumni, Darci; Manager and LSU Alumni, Ashley; Consultant and Aggie Former Student, Linda; and Former Intern and Aggie Class of 2012, Nick

Chicago Manager, Darci traveled for her first time to College Station, Texas to watch her Missouri Tigers beat the Texas Aggies during the final match-up for these teams as Big XII Conference members.  We even had members of our organization from other universities who were not playing in the match-up attend the tailgate this year. While the outcome was not one the Aggies were excited about, we were pleased to have a chance to host a mini Intern Challenge reunion.  Darci has facilitated the past two summers at the Intern Challenge, along with Houston Director, Tyler, and myself.

Hope your trip to Aggieland lived up to all of your expectations, Darci!
