Jeff Benesch
Jeff, a senior manager in Deloitte Consulting LLP’s Strategy and Operations service area, advises many of the world’s leading technology companies on major investment decisions which have far-reaching implications, and then helps implement those recommendations. His business acumen is greatly valued, and not just by his high-tech clients. A couple of local nonprofit organizations with whom he volunteers also reap the benefits of Jeff’s knowledge and expertise. And in return, he has found unparalleled opportunities for leadership and skill development. |

Scott Haveman
As a Senior Manager at Deloitte, Scott works in the Enterprise Risk Services practice, assessing compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, working with management on risk mitigation, and optimizing information systems for manufacturing clients. Two years ago, he took on a project outside of his regular client work when he agreed to serve as site leader for an IMPACT Day project at Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan. The project – sorting and packing food -- was rewarding but the leadership at both Gleaners and Deloitte realized the volunteers had something far more valuable to contribute: their professional skills. |

Sara Miller
For Sara, a tax senior in Deloitte’s Houston office, professional development results not only from her day-to-day work, but also by volunteering in the community. Soon after joining Deloitte, Sara began volunteering for Junior Achievement (JA), a nonprofit organization that prepares young people for the global economy through educational programs that focus on business, citizenship, economics, entrepreneurship, ethics, financial literacy and career development. She signed up as a JA classroom volunteer because she liked working with young people, but soon found the experience would teach her a few things, as well. |

Monica Munoz
Monica, a senior associate who does forensic accounting and litigation support in the Financial Advisory Services practice at Deloitte, didn’t want just any job when she graduated from the University of Southern California in 2005. She wanted to work for a company that not only allowed her to utilize her finance degree, but also shared and supported her passion for volunteerism. She was thrilled when the topic of community involvement came up frequently in her Deloitte job interviews, saying "The opportunity to contribute to the community is something Gen Y really wants so, for me, it was a big bonus. There were not a lot of comparable organizations." |
