Farmers Insurance^® helps set the stage for employees' professional development, while also empowering them to pursue their passions for making a positive impact in their communities. AJ Venezia exemplifies this dual commitment.

AJ has spent more than 18 years at Farmers^® where she’s held a wide range of roles across the organization. Starting out as a Field Property Claims Adjuster, she eventually went on to expand her horizons and move into the role of Field Property Claims Learning Delivery Specialist (AKA trainer), where she traveled throughout the Midwest meeting countless employees and engaging and developing team members. In this role, she helped others reach their greatest potential while also honing her own communication, facilitation, networking and leadership skills. Following further development of her network and professional expertise, AJ transitioned into her current role as a Learning & Development Delivery Lead, where she continues to contribute significantly to the organization by bringing training to life, designing classes and online programs that help others at Farmers grow and succeed.

Beyond her day-to-day responsibilities, AJ is passionate about volunteering and leading both at Farmers and within the broader community. She previously served as the National Co-Lead and now serves as the National Advisor for the Caregiver Connect Employee Resource Group (ERG), supporting employees who care for loved ones. In 2024, AJ led the Farmers Community and Employee Engagement Difference Maker team, a cross-functional group of 13 employees dedicated to finding innovative ways to engage employees in philanthropic initiatives. These efforts aligned with Farmers’ commitment to economic empowerment and disaster resilience. Under AJ’s leadership, the team successfully took part in reigniting the Community Champion Award, which honors employees who make a meaningful difference in their communities and provides recipients with a grant to support a charity of their choice.

Farmers Corporate Citizenship highlights the organization’s commitment to providing time and resources to help make a difference in the communities where Farmers customers, agents and employees live, work and play. This genuine sense of community and shared purpose within the workplace is something that AJ enjoys the most about working at Farmers.

AJ is just one example showcasing how the employees at Farmers bring their unique passions, talents and dedication to work each day, helping to build a culture of growth, service and community impact that truly sets the organization apart.
