CSR

California DMC Destination Services is widely recognized as a pioneer in producing groundbreaking socially responsible teambuilding events. With the meetings industry under the microscope, the marriage of dynamic teambuilding events and community service is becoming increasingly popular and serves to demonstrate that these programs put meaning into meetings.  While teambuilding events promote camaraderie among team members and enhance business goals, adding CSR into the mix takes the rewards and the results of participation to a whole new level. Individual team members benefit, your organization benefits, and the community benefits in a big way.  Socially responsible teambuilding events create lasting impressions on participants, fostering loyalty toward the companies that are dedicated to giving back and making a positive impact through charitable undertakings.  As a company, this is our passion – to match our clients with projects enabling them to give back and to leave a footprint when they meet in Southern California. Whatever your teambuilding goals might be, contact the team for customized community service and socially responsible events that will take your next meeting, conference or incentive travel program to the next level.
