Kim Alford believes giving back to our community is what we are supposed to do. As an Associate Experience Lead, she’s able to take her personal passion and develop opportunities for Lockton Associates to give back to their local communities.

When she first heard about HouseProud, she knew she had to get involved – both personally and through Lockton.

HouseProud serves local communities by providing no-cost home repairs to low-income senior, veteran, and disabled homeowners.

“They prevent developers from taking the homes from families, making them more inhabitable, and enable the homeowner live the rest of their lives in the home they own,” explained Kim. “That gives such a sense of pride to those that have been through a lot.”

Each year, the Atlanta and Birmingham offices contribute hours of time painting, cleaning and sprucing up residents’ homes – and Kim is always leading the way.

Because of her ongoing impact, Kim was awarded the Lockton Community Impact Award for the Southeast region. The award recognizes an Associate in each region with a $25,000 donation on behalf of the Lockton family and shareholders to a charity of the Associate’s choice as a thank you from Lockton. Kim selected HouseProud.

“I was completely shocked and questioned if it should be me, simply because there are so many others in our Series that give back to the community as well,” Kim explained.
At Lockton, giving back to our communities remains a foundational element in our culture, and has been since we were founded in 1966.

“Winning this award wasn’t about me,” Kim said. “It was about providing me an opportunity to give back to the community. I’m so thankful that the Lockton family has enable us to help out the community in such a large way.”
