Pam Lambkins, our Branch Manager in Florissant, has graduated from the St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative’s Fellows Program.
“The initiative has motivated me to not only be just a better version of myself but inspired me to get out and make a difference at the credit union and in the communities where I live and work,” said Lambkins. “In the words of John Lewis, I want to be purposeful to get into ‘good trouble.’”
The St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative, a part of the St. Louis Regional Chamber, helps area companies build successful diversity and inclusion programs. The Fellows Program supports this effort by addressing the interests and challenges of professionals of color as they work to develop and advance their careers. It features a holistic approach that creates a safe and stimulating environment for participants to receive valuable feedback, self-reflect on the feedback, acquire effective leadership strategies, and build relationships essential to their individual and collective growth.
