Lunch & Learn: Preserving and Celebrating 100 Years with COUNTRY Financial

{ "name":"Lunch & Learn: Preserving and Celebrating 100 Years with COUNTRY Financial", "description":"

Bring your lunch and join us to learn about COUNTRY Financial, who is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, on Thursday, October 9, from 12:10 to 1:00 p.m.

Andy Bender, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for COUNTRY and the Illinois Farm Bureau (and unofficial historian) will present a program that will feature important milestones of the company’s 100 year history and show items from the Illinois Farm Bureau archives. Bender will also share a sneak peek of items that will be preserved in a time capsule later in 2025 to commemorate the anniversary.

The Museum's Lunch & Learn series is made possible with the support of our presenting sponsor,  MCK CPAs & Advisors. This series provides unique learning opportunities every second Thursday of the month over the lunch hour (12:10 to 1:00 p.m.) in person and live via youtube.com/mchistorymuseum.
