COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Community matters to Benchmark. And because Benchmark works around the country, our employees are making a difference in many communities and with many organizations. Last year, Benchmark helped support 39 non-profit organizations, either financially or through volunteer hours.
Monarch Research Planting Forward Program Replants 30,000 Trees in Iowa. Benchmark, Inc. President Ron Harriman commented, “The derecho impacted our company in many ways. Several of our associates encountered devastating damage to their properties. The Monarch Research – Planting Forward program is a win-win for everyone involved.”
