“This is a well-deserved recognition for David and we’re proud that he’s
being honored for his long-term support of Perspectives and commitment
to improve the lives of children,” said Joseph P. Lacher, Jr., Kemper’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “David’s integrity and dedication
to high personal and professional standards is evident throughout his
business and philanthropic endeavors, and we’re grateful for the
leadership he provides not only to Kemper but to the Chicago community.”
Perspectives is a high-performing charter school founded in 1997 that
currently serves nearly 1,800 children in economically disadvantaged and
under-resourced south side communities in Chicago.
Perspectives’ foundation, based on “26 Principles of a Disciplined
Life,” helps guide student behavior and performance, and develops the
students’ moral compass.
“David embodies these principles, and he strives with our students and
school communities to live these 26 principles with us,” said Diana
Shulla-Cose, Perspectives Charter Schools co-founder and President.
Storch currently serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of AAR, a leading provider of aviation services for commercial
and government customers in more than 100 countries. Earlier this year,
he announced his retirement as CEO effective June 1, 2018, after which
he will remain non-executive chairman. For many years, Storch and AAR
have partnered with Perspectives to provide students with opportunities
and resources including mentorships, internships and field study.
