Helping People and Changing Lives...of CSC Employees

We here at CSC wish the best to Ben Baggett, CSC's Weatherization Program Development Analyst, as he moves on to a new opportunity. His farewell letter beautifully articulated how so many of us at CSC feel about our jobs. We thank the people that we serve, our volunteers, and our donors for allowing us to work in such a rewarding environment!

CSC Friends and Colleagues,

A few thoughts before my last day this Friday…

I once thought that ‘Helping People and Changing Lives’ was only about CSC helping others. But after three and a half years at CSC, I know that this includes those who work here. It’s been a positive, life-changing experience working with you all and with those in the communities we serve. For that I am proud to have been able to be a part of CSC. Though separated by our programs, partitions, and the miles; it doesn’t change the common thread that connects us all. We all share in common the commitment to the idea that all people deserve a chance to succeed in this world and that we can help them do that for themselves. And the best kept secret is that we help ourselves and change our own lives for the better as we work “Helping People and Changing Lives.” I can only imagine the volumes of stories we could write of how we have improved others lives and been changed in the process. Wouldn’t you like to read that book? I would. Sign me up for a story if anyone wants to put that book together. These are the things that make CSC special to me.  

Best wishes in your continued work making a difference in our communities!

Sincerely,

Ben Baggett
Former Director of Lincoln Community Land Trust (a CSC Project)
