Frontier gives Read Aloud $10,000 to build next work force
Frontier Communications Corporation gave $10,000 to Read Aloud West Virginia in a generous move to thank NiSource Gas Transmission & Storage Company for lending them office space while they moved into West Virginia.
Brian Healy, manager of non-gas facilities for NGT&S, was at the center of the exchange. Healy and his company are long-time supporters of Read Aloud West Virginia. They have donated office, storage and meeting space to Read Aloud since the group reorganized in 2007.
Healy found himself in a position to help Read Aloud again. When Ken Arndt, president and general manager of Frontier's Southeast Region, asked Healy if he knew of a non-profit organization that supported literacy, he did not hesitate. “Read Aloud West Virginia” was his answer.
Supporting literacy is consistent with both firms’ long-term goals.
“Literacy is the foundation of a strong workforce,” Arndt said. “We are an ever-evolving industry. Reading is a core requirement. We have to show students that reading is enjoyable. Today’s student is tomorrow’s employee,” he said.
