Dear Pearl Associate:

I am both honored and excited to announce that Pearl has been acquired by Mario Antwine, an individual investor. After 20 years of building Pearl to becoming the amazing company it is in terms of growth, success, and fulfillment of our important social mission of giving hiring priority to people with barriers to work, I feel it is time to pass the baton to an individual who mirrors my passion for continuing our social mission and has the desire to take Pearl’s growth to the next level.Read More »April 2024 – Announcement from Merry Korn

Welcome to March and the launch of Spring. Many of us are happy to see the arrival of warmer weather. While there are many observations this month, I would like to use this letter to honor Women’s History Month. I would not be here if it were not for the brave pioneering women that came before me to pave the way.Read More »March 2024 – CEO Letter

Hello, Pearl Team.

Welcome to February. I am sure many of us are looking forward to the warmer months already (I know I am). However, before we can be out enjoying the spring weather – we need to pause and take notice of what is before us in February. This month brings with it some notable holidays, like Valentine’s Day, Random Acts of Kindness Day and Black History Month. While I’d love you all to consider performing random acts of kindness all year – I see all of the observations this month with an underlying theme of appreciation. To go along with the theme of appreciation, this month I’d like to focus my letter on the significance of Black History Month.Read More »February 2024 – CEO Letter

Hello, Pearl Team!
The Holiday season is in full swing and so many of us are preparing for family gatherings to celebrate a host of holidays this month. In December the most prominently celebrated holidays are Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Christmas. Each holiday brings an importance in the tradition, meaning, and ways they are observed. While so much about the holiday season has been commercialized over the years, I believe the underlying theme in each of these three holidays is to find joy, appreciation, and happiness in our time spent with family, friends, and our community.Read More »December 2023 – CEO Letter
