If you’ve ever lived in Gwinnett County,Georgia, you’ve probably heard of Barbara King. She’s a long-time community servant and a retired Primerica legend. She was with Primerica leadership as they began this company, and managed to dedicate her whole self to the company, her family and her community … all at the same time!
This year, the prestigious United Way Women’s Legacy of Gwinnett will award King for her service with the first-ever Anna Shackelford Legacy Award. This award is given to honor her continued commitment to her community. During the ceremony, local philanthropists and volunteers are awarded for Time, Talent, Treasure and Legacy. King has certainly exhibited the volunteerism and dedication required for this honor.
She was certainly instrumental in developing Primerica’s TV network, publications department and Women in Primerica program (among countless other efforts), but her commitment has extended to many other organizations over the years, including:
• The Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services
• The Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education
• The Gwinnett Philharmonic
• The Georgia Council on Economic Education
• Gwinnett Technical College
• Annandale Village
• The Board of Advisors for Georgia Gwinnet College
• The Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors and Executive Committees
• Georgia School Board of Education
• Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau
• New York City YWCA Academy of Woman Achievers
In essence, as Women’s Legacy Leadership Council Member, Carole Boyce, said, “There is nothing that epitomizes the word ‘Legacy’ more so than Barbara King.”

Changing lives is what Primerica is all about – and that philosophy doesn’t extend just to the families our reps help to get back on track financially. The Primerica Home Office here in Georgia recently donated $10,000 to the Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundation Fund Inc. to help enrich the education of children in Gwinnett.
This donation will support academic and college access programs for low to middle income students across the school district.
“Primerica is proud to be a partner with the Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundation Fund,” says Anne Soutter, Vice President, Primerica Community and Foundation Relations. “Our goal is to make an investment in education for this county, and to be a part of the development of our future community and business leaders – our students.”
Primerica has a long, proud history of community involvement. Since 2000, the Citi Foundation, through Primerica, has contributed more than $300,000 to Gwinnett County Schools and Programs. Additionally, Primerica employees have donated hundreds of volunteer hours each year in service to the Berkmar Cluster Mentoring Program.

The Summer Food Drive competition at Primerica’s Home Office is a popular campaign with employees. There’s always a healthy rivalry among the departments to see who can collect the most food items for donation to the Lilburn (GA) Co-op. It’s a joy to help out this wonderful organization, which has provided all kinds of services to people who find themselves in need in the Gwinnett county area since 1994. As with every year, Primerica’s employees didn’t disappoint. With more than 4,500 food items donated, volunteers filled three SUVs and two pickup trucks for the trip back to the food pantry.
The food drive was promoted throughout the Home Office campus with a Primerican poster campaign.
The following departments contributed to Primerica’s generous effort: Publications, Insurance Business Counsel, Human Resources, PFS University, PFSU Prelicensing/Agency Relations, Facilities/Warehouse, Television, Information Technology, Securities and Lilburn Co-Op volunteers were happy to take the food for folks in need.
