Accelerated Analytics leadership and employees partnered with Habitat for Humanity Sarasota last week for a team build project at a property in Sarasota, Florida. This is the second year that Accelerated Analytics has worked with Habitat for Humanity to incorporate a community service project into their annual team meeting. Sixteen Accelerated Analytics employees worked together to construct a new fence for a refurbished property in North Sarasota.
“Investing into our local community through a project with Habitat for Humanity is becoming an annual tradition and is an integral part of who we are as an organization. This year we worked together to take a single project from start to completion and it in addition to being very rewarding, it was an affirmation of our team’s drive and synergy,” said Accelerated Analytics CEO Chad Symens.
In addition to volunteering during the build event, Accelerated Analytics donated $500 to Habitat for Humanity Sarasota on behalf of 
customer Kidde Fire Safety, who contributed to a special project with Accelerated Analytics earlier this fall. Additionally, Accelerated Analytics customer Masterbuilt donated products to Habitat for Humanity of Sarasota
