Regions’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Three-Year Historical Walk

Celebrating milestones and looking to the future.

By Evelyn Mitchell | December 21, 2021

Regions is proud to celebrate the three-year anniversary of the bank’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Center of Expertise, launched in August 2018. The Regions team has remained strategically focused on this business priority with a goal to make life better for associates, customers and communities.

In this video, Clara Green, head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Regions Bank, takes a historical walk through key milestones over the past three years.

“This diversity, equity and inclusion journey at Regions could not have happened without the support of the Regions team,” said Green. “For as excited as we are about the milestones we celebrate, we also recognize that there is still work to be done. As we progress in our journey in 2022 and beyond, we affirm our commitment to make life better, stand out and stand together.”

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Milestones:

  • Introduced the Conversations with Clara dialogue series.
  • President and CEO John Turner became a signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion, the largest CEO-driven coalition to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
  • Furthered our commitment to diverse talent acquisition, development and retention.
  • Created local Diversity and Inclusion Networks.
