All this enthusiasm around Lilly’s Global Day of Service has provided me with some inspiration. Today’s LinkPad takes a look inside Lilly and highlights some of the work being done by Lilly employees throughout the country for improving communities…and the policy environment.
- Indy Star reports on Lilly’s 5th Annual Global Day of Service, highlighting local work with Reconnect to our Waterways in Indianapolis, including a great slideshow from throughout the day.
- A segment produced by WISH TV features Dave Forsell from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and Lilly’s Sherrie Bossung discussing projects scheduled for the day of service.
- Lilly President and CEO, John Lechleiter contributed a blog for Forbes on how the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) can help sustain America’s capacity for innovation in the face of accelerating global competition.
- An article for Reuters cited Lilly’s Vice President for International Government Affairs, Harrison Cook on the importance of pushing for 12 years of data protection in TPP negotiations.
After eight years at Lilly, the work of our fantastic employees and partners continues to blow me away. Every day, individuals within Lilly have a valuable impact on our organization, their communities and the future of medical innovation. Kudos to all of my wonderful colleagues!
