“I am extremely humbled to receive the Carol E. Burger Philanthropy Legacy Award. In partnership with United Way and the global force of Women United, I am honored to help improve the lives of people and families in real and meaningful ways,” said Moore. “Whether it’s building greater financial wellness, or fostering greater access to capital and resources, it’s important for people in the financial services industry to leverage their skills and experience in ways that make all our communities stronger.
“Regions’ mission of making life better aligns well with the mission of United Way,” Moore added. “I wholeheartedly believe that to whom much is given, much is also required. This collaboration enables me to reach out to people and families in need of expertise and resources to solve challenges within our communities.”
