LAFAYETTE, La., June 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBERIABANK
(www.iberiabank.com), the 130-year-old subsidiary of IBERIABANK
Corporation, recently joined forces with schools across seven
states to participate in the American Bankers Association's
Teach Children to Save campaign. Over 200 IBERIABANK
associates from the commercial, retail, senior management, finance,
marketing, and other departments volunteered to teach over 6,000
elementary and middle school students in 20 markets.
Teach Children to Save Day is a national effort that
encourages bankers to demonstrate their community commitment by
teaching young people about the value of saving. Individual lessons
focused on the differences between needs and wants, how to save,
reasons to save, and where to save.
"As the oldest and largest financial institution headquartered
in Louisiana, one of the hallmarks
of our Company is to support the communities in which we serve.
Through financial literacy programs, financial support, and
volunteerism, we strive to enrich the lives of our associates,
clients, and the greater community," said Daryl Byrd, IBERIABANK President and CEO.
"Our goal in participating in the Teach Children to Save
program is to begin to establish a mindset for students to become
lifelong savers by motivating them and instilling positive habits
at a young age," commented Beth
Trotter, IBERIABANK Executive Vice President and CRA
Officer. "This is the third year that we have participated in this
effort. We hope that these lessons will have a positive impact on
the next generation over time."
