Happy Friday, V Team! On today’s final Up To Speed of the week, host Raquel Wilson shared the following updates:
Up To Speed: Week in review
- Monday: We shared the heartwarming story of V Teamer Zofia Stepkowska who selflessly took in four women who’d fled Ukraine for safety.
- Tuesday: Amber Nakamura from our B2B team in Colorado shared how she went from four part-time jobs to one top-notch career at Verizon.
- Thursday: Up To Speed team members Diana and Adi took us to Miami and talked to V Teamers about Global Choice and Verizon’s involvement in the community. (Stick around for Adi’s impromptu salsa lesson and cafecito coffee demo!)
A special birthday
A little trivia for you: Did you know the pilot episode of Up To Speed aired April 15, 2016? Yup, that’s right: Today is Up To Speed's sixth birthday! From its inception, we’ve been bringing you all the news happening at Verizon, highlighting all the hard work the V Team has accomplished, and of course sharing your personal career journeys and life stories that bring us all together.
Thanks for watching, sending in your stories to good@verizon.com, leaving comments and sharing your favorite episodes! We hope you’ll continue joining us for live episodes most Mondays and Fridays at noon ET, and for additional episodes most Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Verizon Frontline’s Response Team
Verizon Frontline’s Response Team recently completed a multi-day deployment to support a statewide flooding-response exercise hosted by the South Carolina Emergency Management Department.
This past weekend, the team also deployed resources to remote desert areas of California and Nevada to provide mission-critical communications capabilities to medical professionals and race organizers in support of the Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay law-enforcement race.
Overall, the Verizon Response Team provides on-demand, emergency assistance during crises to government agencies, emergency responders, nonprofits and communities on a 24/7 basis. Thank you, Verizon Frontline Response Team, for all that you do!
