Casey Welch

Just a twenty-something-year-old who is learning as she goes. I have a passion for communication and a heart for community. I’ve found the perfect marriage of these with my position at Southwest as the Community Relations and Charitable Giving Team’s lead communicator. I LUV it! (Insert Molly Shannon kick here.) Want to hear more about how Southwest gives back to the communities it serves? Follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/citizencasey.

Your Favorite Southwest Story

One of the most special moments for me at Southwest was when I was sitting in a meeting with CEO Gary Kelly and some of Southwest’s most outstanding Employee volunteers. We gathered over breakfast to honor these volunteers’ contribution to our communities. I watched as they excitedly and sometimes tearfully shared their stories and their hearts for various causes. It meant so much to me that our company makes such an effort to support the causes that are closest to our Employees’ hearts. I’ve since experienced several special moments and countless tears of joy with my Coworkers. It’s a blessing every day to share in the lives of such amazing people.
