01 Employee volunteers donated their time at the Have a Heart, Do Your Part
Radiothon benefitting local Akron Children’s Hospital.
02 National Interstate is proud to support the Akron Children’s Hospital
Akron Marathon Race Series. In June, we sponsored the 8K and 1-Mile
Races, which recognize our commitment to health, fitness and employee
engagement. Many National Interstate employees, friends and family
members participate in the races, volunteer during the event and enjoy
the entertainment activities.
05 In April, we held a Topping Off ceremony, where the last beam was
placed in the super structure of our new building. The beam, painted
white, was signed by employees and featured a tree and American
Flag. It is a custom that originated in Scandinavia to celebrate the
safe completion of the framing of the building. The tree is a symbol of
continuation in the structure going forward.
06 National Interstate employees and their families volunteered their time to
clean up Edgewater Beach in Cleveland on a cold and windy Saturday.

The September Marathon again brought out more volunteers to staff our
two fluid stations and 73 runners!
03 Employees in the 2017 Leadership Academy at their graduation. The
Academy consists of three residencies and six individual coaching
sessions over the course of nine months. It promotes professional
development to employees identified as high-performers.
04 National Interstate ended a record-breaking week of donations with a
day of service at the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. Helping sort and
organize donations from the community, employees gained a hands-on
view of the impact we made in the community.
07 Our ENGAGE community service committee coordinated donations for the
Humane Society of Akron, and even brought a mobile pet adoption center
on campus. And a few cuddly pets walked away with new forever homes
that afternoon.
08 National Interstate employees competed in the 2017 Akron Corporate
Challenge against other local businesses in events including footgolf,
softball, cornhole, tug of war and bowling.
