Unum

Unum here in Chattanooga recently established a Social Justice Fund to - quote - “create stronger, more equitable communities.”

The insurance firm made a $500,000 corporate gift, now being supplemented with employee and company matches, to set up the fund - which will support projects to fight racism, discrimination and bias.

Rick McKenney is Unum’s CEO - and Liz Ahmed is its executive vice president of people and communications.
