Dennis, an IT programmer analyst at NI Penang, serves as the chairman of NI Gives Penang, an employee-driven initiative that aims to improve quality of life through a variety of philanthropic and volunteer activities. After collecting employee donations, his team carefully chooses recipients that reflect the diversity of the community in which they live and work. In 2012, his team focused on preserving the environment in Penang. Nearly 60 employees participated in a coastal cleanup at Tanjung Bungah, where masses of garbage had been washed ashore. “NI Gives Penang unites employees who feel strongly about serving their community,” Dennis said.
