DALLAS – Sendero, a management consulting firm known for its purpose driven culture and dedication to clients, was chosen as a winner of the 2016 North Star Award by Communities Foundation of Texas’ Entrepreneurs for North Texas (EFNT).
The North Star Award recognizes companies who show a powerful commitment to making a meaningful contribution to the North Texas community through implementing civic-minded policies, providing opportunities for their employees to volunteer, and demonstrating exemplary commitment to good corporate citizenship.
Sendero’s locally-focused business model enhances their ability to make a difference in their communities. The company’s employee-created, employee-driven Sendero Cares committee helps coordinate the efforts and talents of employees as good corporate citizens. Through contributions of time, energy, creativity, and resources, Sendero works to make their communities the best places to live, work, and raise families. Working through EFNT and directly with various nonprofits, Sendero’s employees enrich their own and others’ lives. They support numerous organizations — including Camp John Marc, Chase’s Place, The Family Place, Bea’s Kids, Best Buddies, and Junior League — and continue to add more as employees share their passion for an organization.
“Sendero is a company that genuinely cares about the communities in which they live. Their commitment to giving back is evident in their policies, in how they empower their employees to give back, and in their willingness to partner with their clients to do good,” says Catherine Cuellar, Director of Entrepreneurs for North Texas. “Their company’s culture is evident in all the work they do with us.”
Sendero was presented the award at the 2016 Spirit of Entrepreneurship and Ring of Entrepreneurs Awards ceremony. Dr. Bobby B. Lyle was inducted into the Entrepreneurs for North Texas’ prestigious Ring of Entrepreneurs. He joins a circle of legendary philanthropic entrepreneurs.
