奖项认可三菱电气有组织的志愿者努力帮助残疾青年

VERNON HILLS, IL, — Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation awarded its annual M.O.V.E. (Mitsubishi Organized Volunteer Efforts) Award to the VISION Committee at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. located in Vernon Hills, Illinois, for its “Global Youth Service Day” project at the Sunrise Lake Outdoor Education Center.

VISION (Volunteers in Service Intent on Needs) is a committee of Mitsubishi Electric Automation employee volunteers committed to volunteer service in their community. A long-time supporter of the Northwest Suburban Special Education Organization (NSSEO), VISION dispatched 47 volunteers to NSSEO’s Sunrise Lake Outdoor Education Center in Bartlett, Illinois this spring for its annual Global Youth Service Day to assist with a variety of outdoor classroom improvement projects, including splitting firewood, building fences and repairing hiking trails. The Committee donated a total of 376 volunteer hours, and more than $10,000 to support Sunrise Lake, which provides opportunities for students with disabilities to learn experientially.

“In addition to the physical improvements made to the school, VISION Committee volunteers held mock interviews with students at Sunrise Lake to prepare them for real interviews when they enter the job-market,” says Kevin R. Webb, senior director of the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation. “This nicely dovetails with the Foundation’s national M>PWR Initiative, designed to empower youth with disabilities to lead productive lives, which is why we are particularly excited to present this year’s M.O.V.E. award to the VISION Committee,” continued Webb.

全球青年服务日项目是从七个同样应得的美国项目的领域中选择的，以接收2016年M.O.V.E.由三菱电气集团公司的雇员代表组成的选拔委员会裁决。M.O.V.E.奖项由视觉委员会的奖杯组成，并由三菱电气美国基金会（Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation）授予NSSEO $ 1,000赠款。

三菱Electric America Foundation 2016 M.O.V.E. Award was presented by the Foundation’s program officer, Tara Havlicek, to VISION committee chair Yazmin Yepez in a ceremony held at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. today. Ms. Havlicek and Ms. Yepez were joined by Toshio Kawai, president, and David Rebmann, vice president of Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. in presenting the $1,000 grant to Bryan Bolger, outdoor education specialist with NSSEO.

Upon receiving the award, Mr. Bolger stated, “I want to sincerely thank Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. for the tremendous support the company and its volunteers have provided to NSSEO’s Sunrise Lake Outdoor Education Center for more than 20 years. Your partnership with NSSEO has enabled students to experience a wide variety of learning experiences and to become contributing members of our society. On behalf of the students we serve, I’d like to thank the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation for recognizing the VISION Committee’s volunteer efforts and for your unwavering commitment to Sunrise Lake students with this award.”
