LMC Group Team Member Kim Fisher
Manchester, N.H. — The Livery Management Consultants (LMC) Group participated in its annual #GivingTuesday tradition on November 29 by raising money for New Horizons for NH, a New Hampshire organization that operates an adult homeless shelter, soup kitchen, food pantry, and Angie's Shelter for Women. #GivingTuesday is a grassroots movement held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving that encourages businesses and organizations to help others through the gift of time, donations, goods, or raising awareness.
In LMC’s second year participating in #GivingTuesday, team members reached 100% staff participation and raised $2,000 with their 100% company match.
“Compassion and generosity are among our top core values as an organization,” remarked LMC Founder Kristen Carroll. #GivingTuesday is LMC’s favorite holiday; it’s a time every member of our team participates in a cause that is important to us.”
This year LMC chose to support New Horizons for NH, a cause that team member Kim Fisher has been involved with for many years.
The LMC Group also offered “LinkedIn for a Cause,” in which Social Media Manager Aleja Seabron restructured LinkedIn profiles for clients in exchange for donations to New Horizons. Your Private Limo (YPL) in Chicago, Ill., took first advantage of this offering, and Able Limousine in Hopkinton, Ma., ensured the efforts finished strong. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, LMC team member Stephanie Carnes sold 350 of her “soon-to-be world famous” chocolate chip cookies with 100% of proceeds going to New Horizons.
The fundraising efforts ended successfully with LMC and Grace Limousine joining forces to “Stuff-A-Stretch” with nonperishable food, toiletries, and adult winter items. Earlier this month, Grace joined other local businesses in sponsoring New Horizons' Thanksgiving Breakfast, which members of The LMC Group also attended
“As a local, family-owned business for more than 25 years, Grace Limousine has come to greatly appreciate the work of organizations like New Horizons for New Hampshire,” Grace Limousine’s president, Michael Campbell, commented. “They are vital to our community, and it is our pleasure to stand with them and share in the work they do.”
At the end of the 2016 #GivingTuesday fundraising campaign, these combined efforts totaled nearly $6,000.

Carmel Car and Limousine Service COO David Friedman
New York — Carmel Car and Limousine Service recently announced that they were the recipient of the 2016 Limousine & Sedan Operator of the Year award from the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association (TLPA). The award was given to the company at the TLPA’s Annual Convention & Trade Show, which was held Oct 31-Nov 4 in Phoenix, Ariz.
David Friedman, Carmel's COO, accepted the award on behalf of his dedicated staff. He noted that despite a building causing the company to relocate, they were able restore service after only a 14-hour disruption. "My main concern throughout this emergency situation was for our customers. Because we are a 24/7 operation it was important to be up and running as soon as possible," he said. "With our dedicated staff, we were able to overcome what could have become an even more disastrous situation," he concluded.
One of the most respected honors in the luxury ground transportation industry, the TLPA gives the award each year to an operator with a focus on professionalism, customer service, safety, service to TLPA and the for-hire vehicle industry, and who supports their communities through spirited involvement in local affairs.

Newark, Del. — Driving Dynamics has announced it has been named as a 2016 award recipient in the twenty-eighth annual Awards for Publication Excellence competition. The award, presented in the Education & Training category, was for the custom Drive@Beste-lesson developed for a Driving Dynamics’ global fleet client.
Produced in more than 20 different languages and accessible through desktop and mobile devices, this e-lesson targets the mind and body connection to driving. It explores common personal challenges drivers face that may prevent safe driving capabilities from being at peak performance levels. Factors such as emotional distress, fatigue, poor nutrition, willingness to accept additional risk, and change in health status are among some of the concepts covered.
To further engage learners, an interactive board game was built in as a key deliverable of the lesson. Its components were inspired by classic games that have remained relevant across decades and generations and crossed international boundaries.
“Our client’s fleet safety experts challenged our development team to bring a new and exciting aspect to their e-lesson experience, one which could be easily implemented and communicated across varied groups,” said Driving Dynamics President Art Liggio.
This marks the ninth APEX award received by Driver Dynamics. The APEX Awards for Publication Excellence are an annual competition for publishers, editors, writers, and designers who create print, Web, electronic, and social media. Sponsored by the editors of Writer's Web Watch, the awards are given based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the overall effectiveness of the entry.
