My news for Investors
DETROIT, May 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Resources Global Professionals (Nasdaq: RECN), a leading multinational provider of professional services, teamed up with the Boys Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan to give back to the community. On Tuesday afternoon, May 24, a special team-building exercise was underway where more than 500 Resources Global professionals split up into teams. Thinking they were partaking in normal corporate team-building exercises to help them grow professionally, they were surprised when presented with the challenge of assembling a child’s bicycle.

Patrice Dickens, Club Director Boys Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan, commented on the event saying, “This has been a great day for these children.

“This team-building exercise went beyond corporate fluff to bring our core Resources culture to life,” said Ina Rose, Managing Director of the Resources Academy, who organized this event. “We are a company full of hard-working professionals who are driven to help our clients as well as our communities. This project, and the chance to present a new bike to a child in Detroit, reinforced the heart of Resources.”
The three-day conference, held at the Renaissance Center, Detroit, started on Monday and focused on global client services, strategic-planning sessions, and a client panel discussion with key Fortune 50 C-Level financial and operations executives.
“We decided to hold this year’s global conference in Detroit as a way for us to demonstrate our continuing commitment to this community,” said Resources Global founder and CEO Don Murray. “Ina’s great leadership on
