60 WAYS WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
One of our favorite quotes at Jessup comes from Winston Churchill who rose to historical fame as the Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II: “You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.” It is in that spirit that in 2016 – in celebration of our 60th anniversary – that launched “60 Ways in 60 Months” campaign of giving back to the communities in which we live as well as work. Just 48 months into the program, Team Jessup has achieved its goal – providing time and financial support to 60 different organizations. We respectfully suggest this speaks highly of the caliber of Jessup people, the same people who are committed to finding solutions for your needs.
