  • Allianz Life Receives BestPrep Humanitarian Award

    January 24, 2012 by N/A

    Business
    Wire, Inc.

    BROOKLYN PARK, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– On January 21,
    Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) was presented
    with BestPrep’s Humanitarian Award during the 14th annual “Birdies
    for BestPrep” event at International Market Square. The award, given to a
    Minnesota company for their outstanding community involvement and commitment to
    educating Minnesota students, was accepted by Suzanne Dowd Zeller, Chief Human
    Resources Officer at Allianz Life.

    BestPrep, a Minnesota nonprofit, engages 60,000 students in grades K-12 each
    year in business, career and financial literacy education through programs that
    are built on the foundation that students thrive on active participation and
    experiential activities. During the past two years, more than 250 Allianz Life
    employees have volunteered to help educate students. Allianz Life employees
    have volunteered in a variety of capacities including business camp leaders,
    classroom speakers and email mentors.

    “Allianz Life has really stepped up to promote financial and career education
    for Minnesota students. We are proud to be part of such an important and
    worthwhile effort,” said Allianz Life President and CEO Walter White.

    Allianz Life has a long-term partnership with both BestPrep and Junior
    Achievement (JA), with a goal of improving financial literacy. Initiatives with
    BestPrep and JA fit well within the objective of Allianz Life’s corporate giving
    program to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and seniors to
    ensure financial success and social independence. A Financial Literacy Council
    of 10 key executives from Allianz Life, representing various company
    departments, was formed to help launch the company-wide initiative. The
    executives, partnering with BestPrep and JA, designed a plan to have Allianz
    Life employees deliver financial education programming to Minnesota schools.
    Both nonprofits receive $100,000 annually as well as volunteer support from
    Allianz Life at all levels of the company.

    “Allianz Life’s passion and dedication has been extraordinary. BestPrep is able
    to provide financial education programs largely due to the support of companies
    such as Allianz Life,” Bob Kaitz, President and CEO of BestPrep, said.

    Allianz Life, one of FORTUNE magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For, is a
    company that has been keeping its promises since 1896. Today, it carries on
    that tradition, helping Americans achieve their retirement income goals with a
    variety of annuities and life insurance products. As a leading provider of
    fixed index annuities, Allianz Life is part of Allianz SE, a global leader in
    the financial services industry with 150,000 employees worldwide.
