Testimonials from organizations and staff members
- “I’ve been involved with the Business and Professional Women’s organization for several years. It’s been very rewarding to be a mentor to a young teenage girl.”
—Beth Wepplo, Customer Relations Specialist
- “I have been on the Gala Committee for the Rice Health Foundation for the past few years. Our committee coordinates the theme and décor for their major fundraising event each year. Together with other volunteers we helped to raise over $500,000 in funds for the Rice Rehab Center and the Rice Dental Clinic, to name a few projects. CDS has always encouraged us to get involved in our community, which I think is great!”
—Petra Huisinga, Senior Third Party Administrator
