Building a habitat for growth &ndash teamwork for a strong future was the framework for tricorbraun&rsquos national meeting held in new orleans recently. More than 270 employees from tricorbraun and representatives from their suppliers pitched in to help at 15 homes for those who have not yet recovered from the 2005 floods of hurricane katrina. Teams painted, insulated, roofed and worked on correcting drainage problems around the houses. &ldquoa common characteristic of our team members is to jump in and fix a problem. Typically, this involves resolving packaging challenges, but one cannot help be moved by the remaining housing problems facing new orleans. We agreed that an event centered on giving back to the community was a unique way to bring colleagues together, and habitat for humanity was a logical choice,&rdquo said keith strope, president & ceo. Tricorbraun www.tricorbraun.com is one of the world&rsquos leading suppliers of packaging, with 34 offices in the united states, canada, mexico and asia.
