CNA BECOMES A PLANET AEF AMBASSADOR

HERNDON, Va., April 30, 2009 — The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) is pleased to announce that CNA has committed $25,000 to the PLANET Academic Excellence Foundation (PLANET AEF) scholarship fund, making it the latest PLANET AEF Ambassador.

“On behalf of the CNA Foundation, it is always our pleasure to support issues and causes that are important to PLANET and the green industry at large,” says Tony James, AU, CIC, CNA Underwriting Director – Construction. “We can't successfully grow a book of green industry risks over the long-term, if the green industry isn't successful. And the PLANET AEF is clearly focused on developing the young talent that will be the future success of the industry. We are proud to support PLANET's AEF.”

Since 1983, CNA has partnered with PLANET to provide a business insurance program that offers comprehensive risk control (safety) services, expert claim handling, and property/liability insurance coverages designed specifically for landcare professionals.

The PLANET AEF scholarship fund was formed in 1998 to award scholarships and fund educational activities for the green industry. Promoting and advancing the lawn care and landscape services industry by supporting academic excellence is the Foundation’s mission. To fulfill its mission, the PLANET AEF relies on tax-deductible donations and long-term pledges from individuals, corporations, organizations, and estates. The Foundation’s assets total more than $2 million.
