BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 1, 2023 /CSRwire/ - Regions Bank announced the launch of its Making Life Better Institute℠, a program that reflects the bank’s mission statement and brings together a wide range of community engagement efforts. These efforts extend throughout Regions’ 15-state retail banking footprint and beyond.
“Beginning in 2018, Regions enhanced its community engagement strategy to focus on one key goal: creating more inclusive prosperity. Now, we’re taking another major step forward by combining enhanced volunteerism strategies with new initiatives to build financial inclusion, additional efforts to create financial wellness, and more,” said Leroy Abrahams, head of Community Affairs for Regions Bank. “Making life better is more than a mission statement at Regions; it’s how our associates approach their daily work and the initiatives we are launching to help more people and communities thrive. Through the Making Life Better Institute, we are not only refining our community engagement strategy, we are unlocking new tools to help Regions and its teams make an even greater impact.”
