How Mary Exemplifies Our 2024 Touchstone
It brings me great joy to have a career in which I can measure and share how our employees are making an impact and meaningfully connecting with our customers, communities and each other through their partnerships, volunteerism, acts of service and everyday heroism. As a community leader, wife and mother of two young children, I understand the importance of celebrating wins – both large and small – to motivate, spark joy and deepen connections.
