Nine Red Hat employees have already volunteered to serve as screeners. IBM Involved As part of the IBM On Demand Community program employees have volunteered as screeners for DonorsChooseNC. One IBM volunteer, Alan Packett, Advisory Software Engineer, Software Group, has screened more than 65 proposals over a six-week period. "It is gratifying to know that with just a few hours of my time, I can make a difference in the lives of teachers and the quality instruction that they provide for our students here in NC," says Packett. "IBM's On Demand Community internal Web site helped me identify this opportunity and helps me track my hours so I can qualify for a technology grant, such as a ThinkPad, which could also be donated to my non-profit to further support their goals." Dave Benevides, regional director, IBM Corporate Community Relations says IBM has supported various educational efforts for a decade.
