Cornell University Four Honored May Community Heroes of the Month

As a local banking professional and a mother of young children, financial literacy is a topic I think about often. I work daily with members of the community to help them with their various, and often complex, financial needs. When I have these conversations, I am often reminded that it is critical we give our kids the tools they need to achieve financial literacy at an early age. It will pay off well into adulthood!

Tompkins Emergency Operations Center Wins Community Hero of the Month Awards

February is a time to come together in celebration of the contributions that Black Americans have made throughout American history and a time to pause and reflect on the ongoing struggle for equality and social justice. The theme of Black History Month this year is, The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity. As we take into consideration all that Black History Month represents, I cannot help but think about how timely and appropriate this theme is given all that our country, and specifically our Black neighbors, endured in 2020. While the year has ended, the work for racial justice continues.

This Valentine’s Day, we’ve been thinking a lot about how much we care about our customers, employees, and the communities we serve.
