Community Affairs is a new department that brings together the
Regions Financial Corporation Foundation with the company’s
Community Relations, Community Development, Philanthropy, and
Corporate Social Responsibility areas to further strengthen the
bank’s community support efforts. Abrahams will report to Keith
Herron, head of Corporate Responsibility and Community
Engagement.
“Leroy’s passion for helping others, his experience engaging
with community partners at the grassroots level and a reputation
for thoughtful leadership make him an outstanding choice to lead
Regions’ expanded Community Affairs efforts,” said John Turner,
Regions President and CEO. “Under Leroy’s leadership, Regions will
build upon existing programs that benefit communities and broaden
the reach of our foundation.”
Regions has a long tradition of supporting communities through
volunteer service, nonprofit partnerships, and philanthropy. In
December 2017, Regions further invested in its capacity to provide
financial support for deserving community programs by
contributing $40 million to the Regions Financial
Corporation Foundation.
As Regions builds upon its legacy of community support, the
company has identified three priorities to guide its community
investment efforts and philanthropy going forward:
- Economic and Community Development
- Education and Workforce Readiness
- Financial Wellness
By focusing on these priorities, Regions will help foster an
environment of inclusive prosperity and create shared value for
customers, communities, associates, and shareholders.
“As a financial services company, Regions has a unique
opportunity to promote economic and financial health throughout the
communities we serve,” said Abrahams. “By investing our expertise,
our volunteer time and our financial resources in programs that are
making a meaningful difference, we can help improve the quality of
life and strengthen our communities as a whole.”
