CLEVELAND, Aug. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyBank today
announced it formalized a National Advisory Council as part of its
$16.5 billion National Community
Benefits Plan. The council, which includes a diverse group of
community leaders from across KeyBank's markets, will help oversee
KeyBank's plans to provide transformational and meaningful
community investment.
Launched earlier this year, KeyBank's five-year National
Community Benefits plan is focused on supporting people and
neighborhoods by providing safe and decent affordable housing,
small business and farm lending, mortgage lending to
low-to-moderate income communities, and philanthropy. Detailed
information about KeyBank's National Community Benefits Plan can be
found at: https://www.key.com/about/promotions/cb-plan.jsp.
The plan was developed in partnership with the National
Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) and included input from
over 80 community organizations across the 15 states served by
KeyBank. Several of these organizations and members of NCRC will be
part of the National Advisory Council.
"The National Community Benefits plan embodies and amplifies
KeyBank's purpose to help clients and communities thrive," said
Beth Mooney, Chairman and CEO,
KeyCorp. "We believe in the power of partnership and accountability
as we carry out this mission. The National Advisory Council will
ensure that we have both as we move forward."
"KeyBank's commitment raised the bar," said John Taylor, President & CEO of NCRC.
"Leadership matters, and when it mattered most Beth Mooney and her team stepped up and
delivered for communities. We look forward to a meaningful
partnership of mutual accountability as we work together to build
stronger communities."
The National Advisory Council, whose members will serve in a
voluntary capacity, will meet at least twice a year to:
- assess KeyBank's progress against the goals of the National
Community Benefits Plan;
- provide insight and counsel on products and services; and,
- remain informed about KeyBank's strategies around community
investment.
The first meeting of the national council was held on
August 3, 2017, in Cleveland, Ohio. Additionally, KeyBank has
also formed regional advisory committees in: Buffalo, NY; Albany,
NY; and the Great Lakes Region (including Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan). The regional
councils held their first meetings during the week of August 7.
