Last week’s SHRM 2010 Conference was a success on many levels.  Not only were we in good company with 600+ HR-related vendors – many of them our customers and partners  - but we also had some great conversations with conference delegates about eliminating passwords for HR apps.  And we had an awesome win when it comes to Ping Identity's Community Enrichment efforts.  

At Ping, we believe that we have a responsibility to share our company’s talents and good fortune with nonprofit causes that enrich the communities around us. 

In the wake of this Spring’s devastating Gulf oil spill, Ping Identity has decided to focus the remainder of our 2010 monetary donation efforts toward supporting local, regional and national conservation organizations that are assisting in the recovery and clean up in Louisiana and other Gulf Coast states. 

Last week, 368 SHRM 2010 Conference delegates responded to Ping’s offer to donate $1 for every unique business card collected to help with the clean up.  Our CEO Andre Durand upped the ante  - tripling that total and allowing us to give $1,000 to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana’s (CRCL) collaborative Gulf clean up. We are making this donation on behalf of the SHRM 2010 delegates in recognition of their interest in helping make this happen.

Ping will continue similar fundraising efforts through 2010.  You can visit www.crcl.org to learn about how you can help.  And check out our Community Service page to learn more about Ping Identity’s Corporate Social Responsibility program.
