SAN
FRANCISCO, SC - September 28, 2012 - Wells Fargo has created a Military
Affairs Program to elevate its efforts in serving active duty military
and veterans, and outlined three top initiatives. Wells Fargo plans to
place added focus on getting active duty military and veterans into
homes, helping veterans get back to work, and providing financial
education training.
“It’s an honor to serve those who have
selflessly put their lives on the line for our freedom,” said Jon
Campbell, head of Wells Fargo Community and Government Relations. “We
created the Military Affairs Program to expand our outreach to members
of the military, veterans and their families who may be facing financial
hardships – it is part of our commitment to helping communities succeed
by being a part of the solution.”
As the #1 originator of VA
loans, Wells Fargo will continue to help provide safe, sustainable
housing to veterans and active duty military through quality mortgages,
financial assistance and donations via non-profit organizations. Wells
Fargo is continuing to get veterans back to work by providing mentoring
and networking opportunities, offering interview and resume preparation
and hiring veterans through the Heros2Hired Program. Additionally,
Wells Fargo plans to increase the financial education training it
provides through its Hands on Banking ® program and through non-profit
organizations.
Today, Wells Fargo supports military members and
veterans through customized initiatives to recruit and retain team
members, through Wells Fargo Foundation donations, countless volunteer
hours and event sponsorships. Wells Fargo’s Worldwide Military Banking
program has satisfied the financial needs of our nation’s service
members for more than a half century, coast to coast. Additionally,
Wells Fargo Small Business Administration Lending offers Small Business
Administration (SBA) loans that help veterans, members of the military
community, and their spouses or widows establish or expand their small
businesses.
Jerry Quinn has been named to lead the Military
Affairs Program. As the Military Affairs Program manager, Quinn is
responsible for developing and managing military and veteran national
partnerships and working closely with the military community, including
the Department of Defense. He also provides counsel on military and
veteran matters within the company. Quinn has worked in the banking
industry for more than 18 years and has served 25 years with the U.S.
Army.
At the end of August, Quinn was assigned to US ARMY
CENTRAL COMMAND (ARCENT/3rd Army) in the Middle East in support of
Operation Enduring Freedom. Brian McCullough will assume the Military
Affairs Program manager position during Quinn’s 10 month reservist
assignment. McCullough has more than nine years of experience in the
banking industry and 18 years in the Air Force.
“We’re proud of
Jerry for serving his country and will ensure his position is waiting
for him when he returns,” added Campbell. “We’re equally grateful to
Brian for stepping in to help ensure our Military Affairs program
doesn’t miss a beat while Jerry is abroad. Both bring invaluable
experience to our Military Affairs program.”
