should give back to the community and we have a comfort with ideas NetApp's you

back there flex your back this that we do back many things but we thought about

it we said why don't we give them the opportunity back whatever they want

given the time off and then they can join up either individuals groups or

families whatever next to volunteer time off came from so the way the concept

works they don't think it approval anything that they want to go support

from a charitable endeavor we get one week off paid vacation to go do it we've

seen teams do Habitat for Humanity we've seen teams go down to Haiti after the

earthquakes we've seen kids built orphanages in Mexico and Haiti the end

of the day the proudest thing I've seen out of NetApp are the people who come

back and they are so thrilled if they were able to take their passion and give

back to the community and add back I think it's been a fantastic thing for

the company

as we got bigger we started realizing we are having an impact on our neighbors we

are having an impact on the world and and if we broadened our definition of

who should judge us to include the world and it's not that our job is to fix

everything in the world that's clearly not the case but something that I just

love I love that NetApp is in a position to help our employees pursue their

passions to helping the world

it feels so good to be able to be with colleagues partners and give back

together I don't know of a stronger better way to form a team to create

those balls than this feeling of doing the right thing all together so I would

encourage everyone in the field organization but frankly everyone in the

company to go ahead and give back for themselves and for our community
