Turner College Alum Renee Lambert Leading Aflac's 2025 Christmas is for Kids Initiative

Aflac's 2025 Christmas is for Kids initiative began yesterday and this year it is being led by Turner College alum Renee Lambert.  Throughout December, numerous Aflac locations are completing volunteer projects and delivering toys to various organizations in order to support local area children and families. "Leading Aflac's Christmas is for Kids initiative has been an absolute blessing. What a beautiful start to the holiday season and an amazing example of culture, engagement, and giving back. Grateful to all of the volunteers, organizations, and business partners involved in this special initiative," Lambert stated.
Renee has been with Aflac for more than 10 years, and since 2023 has been an Employee Experience Consultant for the company. Renee's Turner College education has been instrumental in her successful run with Aflac. Not only did she earn a BBA in management, with a concentration in human resources, from the Turner College in 2014, Renee was also awarded an MSOL in human resource management from the Turner College in 2015. The latter formal educational achievement also provided the foundation for the SHRM certification that she subsequently earned. During her graduate studies in the Turner College, Renee assisted business students with career development activities and oversaw production of, and social media marketing for, Servant Leadership: Theory and Practice, the Turner College's academic journal on servant leadership.
