The firm also emphasizes mentoring through programs that empower underrepresented groups, providing mentorship to young women through the BIPOC community and other organizations. This mentoring is not just about career development; it’s also about inspiring the next generation of leaders to continue the cycle of giving back to the community. EXPANDING THE COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS ACMS Northwest takes a distinctive approach to community engagement, blending professional collaboration with grassroots support, educational contributions, and volunteerism. As part of its ongoing mission, ACMS Northwest partners with a diverse range of local and national entities that share similar values, particularly when it comes to supporting minority-owned, womenowned, and veteran-owned businesses. These partnerships extend beyond the business sphere and reach into the community, where ACMS Northwest focuses on impactful education and environmental initiatives. Recognizing the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, the firm has established programs that reach all age groups. Their initiative, “Engineering for Kids,” provides young children with the opportunity to explore basic engineering concepts, laying the foundation for future learning. The firm’s involvement begins with preschool-level engineering programs aimed at fostering an early interest in the field. In addition, ACMS Northwest partners with local elementary schools, hosting annual reading events and rewarding students for meeting their reading goals. Its outreach reaches even further into high school and college. 46 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 02
