C-Level’s ultra-committed CEO Jeffrey Scott became so involved that he joined our board of directors in 2010. He has single-handedly brought tens of thousands of dollars to our organization, developed important new partnerships, and has driven the information technology revolution within our organization.

Another of C-Level’s “Business Productivity Architects” who has had a major impact on our organization is David Wickland, who designed this website. David spent dozens of hours working with our staff, patiently listening and then transforming our stated needs and lofty visions into fabulous and functional web reality.

Scott and the C-Level team support numerous nonprofit organizations through their unique and ambitious Giving Back program. East Atlanta Kids Club is lucky to be included among their well-supported charities.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 6, 2010/ Stop Hunger Now is bringing the worldwide crisis of hunger to the spotlight this week by staging a ground-breaking event within the high-technology community. The vision of the Salesforce Foundation to “give forward to the community through volunteerism;” aligns perfectly with Stop Hunger Now’s goal to educate and engage as many conference attendees as possible. The attendees will learn that we live in a world where 925 million people live without consistent daily sources for food.”Every six seconds a child dies from malnutrition,” said Rod Brooks, CEO of Stop Hunger Now. “Partnering with the Salesforce.com Foundation enables us to educate thousands of individuals from businesses around the world. We believe with the spirit and level of engagement the Salesforce.com community offers, we’ll make a measurable impact in our mission to end world hunger in our lifetime.”

Stop Hunger Now is able to respond rapidly and is often one of the first organizations to provide immediate sustenance and medical supplies after a natural disaster – such as in Haiti and Pakistan. The meals packaged at Dreamforce are bound for Indonesia. Meals packaged to date and the countries who have received direct aid can be tracked using a salesforce.com (Force.com) integrated Google Maps application found at here.

Stop Hunger Now has been staging meal packaging events for 5 years. To date, they have packaged more than 34 million meals. “This is not a topic that’s easy to talk about. It’s difficult to hear the facts and easy to feel powerless to change the outcomes. We believe the experiential nature of a meal packaging event turns caring individuals into passionate champions in creating a movement to end hunger.” Brooks said.

One of the anticipated outcomes of the meal packaging event is that individuals with a heightened awareness of this issue will go back to their communities and organize meal packaging events in their schools, churches or community groups.

SHN is considered a non-profit business success story. The organization’s I/T operations, built primarily on the Force.com and Google Apps platforms, allowed the organization to transfer its traditional software-based IT business operations to a 100% cloud-based SaaS model. Reflecting back on decisions made three years ago, Brooks feels without the power of these platforms and their incredible non-profit support offerings, the organization would struggle to maintain its impressive 3% operating cost track record. “The addition of Salesforce Chatter is changing the way we communicate throughout our organization and is allowing real-time visibility into our day to day operations,” Brooks added.

C-Level Management, Inc. (c-levelmgmt.com), a professional services implementation partner, and a strategic business advisor to Stop Hunger Now through its giving-back philanthropic program, heads the roster of Salesforce partners who are supporting this event. The others include, AppExtremes, Inc. (appextremes.com), Centerstance (centerstance.com), Cloud2You (cloud2you.com), EchoSign (echosign.com), FinancialForce (financialforce.com), plus Shutterfly (shutterfly.com) and CompTIA (comptia.org).

“After successful completion of this event, Stop Hunger Now will launch its corporate events initiative, where they will orchestrate meal packaging events at major industry conferences and tradeshows. This will accelerate the organization’s goal of packaging 100 million meals by 2012,” said Jeff Scott, CEO of C-Level Management.
