Our Community
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.
Since Baird opened its doors in 1919, we have acted on our commitment to give back to the communities we serve.
