Baird Foundation Annual Report 2017: Imagine Partnering for a Brighter Future. | Page 3
A MESSAGE FROM
STEVE BOOTH AND
PAUL PURCELL
At Baird, we recognize the importance of
partnering with our communities to build a
brighter tomorrow, today. While our Baird
associates demonstrate great work in the
office, the work they do in the community also
helps to differentiate our firm and our people.
In addition to providing generous financial
support and hands-on volunteering, many of
our associates’ dedicate their time serving on
the board of nonprofit organizations.
Promoting our associates’ efforts to give back
to the community is integral to our culture.
We have made it our mission to support
our associates’ volunteerism by offering
programs such as Baird Gives Back Week – a
weeklong opportunity to get involved in the
communities where we live and work – and our
Associate Match program, which supports our
associates personal donations to the nonprofit
organizations of their choice. These programs
have grown remarkably over the years and
continue to thrive.
Baird will continue to put an emphasis on
helping others long into the future. We
recognize that when we come together as
a firm and as a community, we can inspire
significant and lasting change.
