Marshall & Ilsley Corporation

Throughout the month of September, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I) employees participated in the eighth annual M&I Community Day, a corporate initiative that encourages employees from every city or location served by M&I to recognize the needs of their communities, establish a service project, and form volunteer teams.

In 2008, over 365 M&I locations and more than 3,100 employees helped make M&I Community Day a resounding success. Throughout M&I’s network, M&I associates participated in a variety of events, including hosting financial literacy training seminars; building Habitat for Humanity homes; holding food drives; building new playgrounds; volunteering at local fundraisers; and participating in community clean-ups.

“Identifying needs in the community – and working together to meet them – is a focus for M&I employees year-round,” said Mark Furlong, president and CEO of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation. “Reflecting this commitment, M&I Community Day provides a unique opportunity for thousands of M&I employees to be part of a corporate-wide effort to support the communities we serve.”

Mark Furlong, president and CEO, Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, joined fellow M&I associates to help build six homes with Habitat for Humanity in a Milwaukee central city neighborhood.  Furlong also met with one of the future homeowners.
