New on the Job: KeyBank’s director of corporate philanthropy
We interviewed Elizabeth S. Gurney, director of corporate philanthropy for KeyBank and First Niagara Foundation about her new role.
Three goals for my first year:
1. Strengthen KeyBank’s commitment to all the communities we serve by working with our dynamic market leaders and their teams.
2. Continue KeyBank’s commitment to being a leading corporate citizen.
3. Amplify our financial commitment through employee engagement.
Best advice I ever received: Trust your gut.
What’s surprised me so far: The depth and breadth of KeyBank’s investments across the enterprise and the passion of our employees for the communities they live and work in.
What I’m reading: “Becoming” by Michelle Obama – A gift from my new boss, Don Graves.
