Global Community Imp...
If you're interested in supporting Camo to College, click here to learn more. Josh Arnold, a former Marine Corps Section Leader, has been awarded Lockton’s Global Community Impact Award after being recognized as a regional winner last year. The award was presented to him for his dedicated work with Camo to College, a nonprofit he founded in 2021 to help veterans transition back into civilian life. Josh describes it as a “transition to society brokerage,” acting as an advocate for veterans as they navigate the complexities of post-military life—whether it’s pursuing education, vocational training, or a new career path. Winning the award for the second consecutive year was a surprise for Josh, who didn’t expect his growing nonprofit to receive such recognition so soon. 'It’s amazing to know that people believe in our mission and recognize the work that has gone into getting us to where we are now,' he says. In addition to the award, Josh was astonished to receive a generous $100,000 donation to Camo to College from the Lockton family - the largest donation given since the launch of the Community Impact Award. “The support and dedication to philanthropic efforts at Lockton is unmatched. Having the President of our company as one of our first donors, receiving such a substantial contribution from the Lockton family, and the incredible support of my coworkers has been overwhelming!” Josh’s leadership style is rooted in problem-solving and a deep sense of responsibility to his fellow veterans. “When I see an issue, I trace it back to the root and put a plan together to fix it. Camo to College started because I saw too many veterans struggling after their service, and too many of my brothers taking their own lives. Veteran suicide is a huge issue, but instead of just addressing the symptoms, I wanted to go back to where it all began: the transition to civilian life. That’s where we can make the biggest difference.” Josh’s belief in Lockton’s business model paved the way for how he structured his nonprofit. “I don’t think there is a Camo to College without Lockton. The idea isn’t some visionary plan, but the simplicity of it works. Be an advocate to our clients, make them a priority, and do everything in our power to make them happy.” At Lockton, culture is more than just a talking point—it’s woven into the fabric of the company. “We brag about our culture at Lockton, and I think to a certain extent, a lot of companies do this,” says Josh. “However, it’s the follow-through that makes Lockton stand out.” Lockton goes beyond promoting its values, ensuring they are reflected in every aspect of the business. “They have instilled certain values that they believe can attract the right Associates and make a company successful, and the difference is the effort and energy put into validating these values,” Josh explains. This dedication to authenticity is what makes Lockton's culture exceptional. Through Lockton’s support, both financially and culturally, Camo to College is now on a path to help veterans not just survive but thrive after military service. “Lockton’s values of service and community are why I love working here,” says Josh. “The company truly cares, and that’s evident in everything they do. I’m so thankful for the Lockton family, my colleagues, and everyone who has supported this mission. Together, we’re making a real difference in the lives of veterans.”

If you're interested in supporting Your Ethiopian Professionals Network, click here to learn more. Sinafik Gebru’s journey as an immigrant led her to Your Ethiopian Professionals Network (YEP), a community that helped her navigate the challenges of building a new life in a different country. Now, years later, her work with YEP has earned her the prestigious Global Community Impact Award, a recognition that highlights her dedication to empowering others facing similar challenges. As part of this recognition, the Lockton family has donated $50,000 to Your Ethiopian Professionals Network. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without YEP,” Sinafik said. “To now receive this award for something that has been so pivotal in my own life is incredibly humbling. For 14 years, we’ve pushed forward with limited resources. This recognition allows us to make an even bigger impact.” YEP was born out of the need to inspire, educate, and empower the Ethiopian professional community. For Sinafik, it has served as a vital resource, offering professional opportunities and a network of individuals who understand the unique challenges of building a career in a new environment. “As an immigrant, YEP provided me with a sense of belonging and a platform to grow in ways I never anticipated,” she explained. “I want to ensure that this platform continues to be available for others who are seeking to grow, connect, and make meaningful contributions.” Looking ahead, Sinafik is focused on empowering the next generation of leaders. “We have a talented community, and I want to focus on growing that leadership,” she said. “I’m honored by this award, but it’s YEP’s success that matters most.” Lockton has played a significant role in her journey, providing more than just a professional platform. “At Lockton, I’ve found a family. Most of my relatives are far away, but my Associates have become my support system,” she said. “Lockton encourages us to pursue our passions outside of work. The culture here fosters a sense of belonging and purpose. That’s what’s made my commitment to YEP so sustainable.” Through Sinafik’s work with YEP and the support of Lockton, she is not only transforming her own life but also paving the way for future generations of Ethiopian professionals.
