Roots & Wings, which empowers young adults who age out of New Jersey’s foster care system with the vital services and support systems necessary to achieve self-sufficiency, honored CompoSecure with the 2019 Irene DeGrandpre Award for its seven years of involvement with the organization. The award was presented at the 20th Anniversary Roots & Wings Rise and Fly Gala. CompoSecure CEO Jon Wilk accepted the award on behalf of the company.
“Though CompoSecure’s business reach is international, we remain deeply connected to the local community,” said Wilk. “We believe it is critical that we nurture this relationship by lending our employees’ time as well as financial support to help the organizations making an impact here in New Jersey.”
CompoSecure was also honored with a Community Service Award at New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA)’s 2019 Awards for Excellence Reception on October 29. The award recognized the various ways CompoSecure and its employees gave back to the community by conducting food drives, volunteering at fundraising events, donating resources and equipment, and participating in mentoring programs. CompoSecure Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Michele Logan accepted the award on behalf of the company.
“Business leaders play a critical role in giving back,” said Logan. “Big or small, a business is part of the community it serves. The success of a business and its community are intertwined, and only together, can long-term growth be sustained.”
