Joan Walker, Executive Vice President for Allstate Insurance, to Speak at HOPE Global Financial Dignity Summit

Building on our engaging time together at CGI America where we shared the stage with Chelsea Clinton in June, 2012, we are pleased to report that Ms. Joan Walker, EVP for Corporate Relations at Allstate Insurance Company, is confirmed to speak and to Co-Chair a Working Group Session at the upcoming HOPE Global Financial Dignity Summit in Atlanta, Georgia.

Inspired by a positive challenge by Chelsea Clinton at CGI America, Joan is leading up a company-wide effort to explore ways in which Allstate and Operation HOPE might 'do more' together in underserved communities across the nation.  More on this later.
