To Contina Woods, any opportunity, no matter how large or small,

but also in the lives of others. It’s always been that way.

“When I was young, my dad ran an auto-mechanic shop by day and a
wrecker service by night. In summers, he would allow me to tag
along,” said Woods. “He taught me impeccable customer service and
an outstanding work ethic.”
Woods applied that work ethic in other aspects of her life. She
graduated second in her high school class – while leading several
extra-curricular activities – and earned a scholarship to the
University of Southern Mississippi.
Days before graduating from Southern Miss in 2000, Woods
accepted a position as a Management Associate for Regions.
Seventeen years later, Woods is now a Treasury Management
Relationship Manager, one of the company’s consistent top
performers and a highly sought-after mentor for associates who
credit her with helping their careers grow.
When Woods moved to South Alabama as a bank branch manager in
2005, she immediately began volunteering with Prodisee Pantry.
“At that time, Prodisee was a small church ministry that
provided meals for needy families. I would help teach financial
education to some of the families,” Woods said. “Now, Prodisee is a
stand-alone nonprofit organization and a staple in the community,
providing job services, medical and dental screenings, legal
referrals, financial assistance and other services. I’m so proud to
see Prodisee grow.”
Woods serves on Prodisee’s board of directors. She leads
fundraising campaigns and volunteer opportunities for community
members. Those opportunities include:
- Community leaders luncheons, where
prospective donors and volunteers dine on the same foods that
Prodisee provides for needy families;
- Distribution days every Tuesday, when
Prodisee delivers monthly food boxes to its families;
- Box-packing weeknights, when volunteers
sort items and fill boxes for upcoming distribution days.
Prodisee serves 17,000 families annually.
Citing Woods’ impact on her community, Regions Bank today
announced that Woods is the November 2017 recipient of the Regions
Bank Better Life Award. The Better Life Award is the top honor
given to a Regions associate for outstanding dedication and job
performance, as well as exemplary involvement and commitment to the
community.
Together with the recognition, Regions donates $1,000 in the
name of the recipient to a nonprofit organization of the winner’s
choice. Woods chose Prodisee because of her work with the
organization.
Woods’ community commitment and dedication to customers are
further illustrated in this video on the Regions Financial YouTube
channel.
