There was the time she helped buy a car for a family in need.
Friends recall the day she emptied her wallet on the spot after
learning of a family who lost everything in a fire. Then there’s
Flaherty’s 12 years of service as a certified hospice
volunteer.
It’s because of that never-ending, community-minded,
always-creative commitment to making life better for others that
Regions Bank today announced Flaherty is receiving the company’s
highest associate honor. Flaherty serves as a senior paralegal for
Regions in Hoover and the bank presented her Wednesday with the
Better Life Award – a recognition of her outstanding dedication and
job performance, as well as her exemplary involvement and
commitment to the community.
“I joined the Future Homemakers of America club in ninth grade,”
she recalled. “Every week, we would visit a senior citizens home or
find other ways to serve. It was all about young people giving back
to the community.”
Over time, Flaherty reconnected with the organization, and,
today, she continues her devotion to the cause of Future Homemakers
of America – now called Family Career and Community Leaders of
America (FCCLA).
Flaherty has volunteered with the FCCLA chapter at Chelsea High
School in Chelsea for the past 10 years. The nonprofit encourages
students to make a difference in their families, careers and
communities by addressing important personal, work and societal
issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education.
“I serve on the board of advisors, participate in career days
and teach financial education lessons,” Flaherty said. “I teach
them the importance of hard work and living up to their values.
Most importantly, I try to show them how to help others and to
always be a friend to those in need.”
Together with the Better Life Award Flaherty is receiving,
Regions is donating $1,000 in her name to Chelsea High’s FCCLA
chapter.
Flaherty’s community commitment and dedication to her career are
further illustrated in this video on the Regions Financial YouTube
channel.
