Great Leaders Serve

Serving Communities Since 2008

At GL Seaman & Company, giving back is more than a value—it's part of who we are. Rooted in the belief that great leaders serve, we are proud to support the communities around us through hands-on volunteerism, youth development, and industry initiatives that make a meaningful difference.

At least twice each year, our employees take time during the workday to serve some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. These team-led service outings strengthen employee engagement while directly supporting vital local organizations.

For the Love of the Lake
Feed My Starving Children
Seven Loaves Food Pantry
Joseph’s Coat Clothing Closet
National Breast Cancer Foundation
Ronald McDonald House

Mary K. Edwards, President of our Fort Worth office, actively serves on the board of both Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth and Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Texas.
