Our Commitment to Our Community

We believe that we have each been given unique talents and resources in order to serve the needs of others and contribute to the world around us. Therefore, we are committed to donating time and resources to our local and international community, and we encourage our SJBT team to do the same. We see ourselves not only as a firm, but as group of individuals committed to making a difference. To that end, we have established a charitable contributions committee comprised of staff and professionals to evaluate various organizations whose mission has touched the heart of the firm and its employees. Our focus is on those organizations who are directly involved in the lives of the individuals they serve.
