Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers Lauded with NPower Powerful Connections Corporate Leadership Award
On the evening of June 25, JPMorgan Chase's downtown Manhattan headquarters in New York City turned host to an all-star gathering of 300+ corporate IT leaders, many coming from across the country to attend.
The occasion was NPower's first annual Powerful Connections corporate partnership dinner, which this year honored the legendary John Chambers, Chairman and CEO of Cisco, for his own personal and his company's social responsibility vision. Cisco has long provided free hardware and funding for NPower, its affiliates, and their nonprofit organizational clients across the U.S. -- a small example of the company's overall engagement and social responsibility leadership worldwide.
