Community Involvement
A Caring Community Partner
The Baird Akron office participates in Baird Gives Back Week by planting flowers and staining fences at The Akron Rotary Camp for Special Needs Children. Pam Kiltau, Vice President, Private Wealth Management, is the current President of the Board of The Rotary Camp. She said "We truly appreciate your time in making our special place for kids beautiful!!"
At Baird, we believe giving back isn’t just right thing to do – it’s at the core of what it means to call a community home. Since Baird opened its doors in 1919, we have acted on our commitment to give back to the communities we serve.
Community involvement is part of the Baird culture—we are encouraged to maintain a balance between home, community, and work. Baird associates are encouraged to organize and participate in fund-raising events for many causes, including education, health and human services, and the arts.

Each Baird employee is given the chance to participate in “Baird Cares Day.” On a Baird Cares Day, employees have the opportunity to take up to two paid day each year to volunteer in the community. The program is designed to encourage employees to provide volunteer service to a nonprofit organization of their choice.
Additionally, Baird employees take part in the annual “Baird Gives Back Week.” During this week, Baird provides its employees with paid hours to volunteer at Baird’s selected nonprofit organization. Held annually since 2009, the event now unites nearly 1,800 Baird associates, relatives and friends on three continents.
