The year 2024 will go down as a memorable one on so many levels. But before we move ahead, let’s take one last look at the great work contributed by our Doing More Today team, which captured the people, communities, insights and those moments that made life a little better.
“Over the past year, Doing More Today has had the privilege of sharing incredible moments that highlight the heart of Regions and its associates, the positive impacts made in communities across our footprint, and the lessons we can learn from,” said Nicole Wyatt, Corporate Communications Senior Business Partner. “These stories are a testament to what’s possible when people come together to make life better – and they’re worth revisiting, not just to reflect, but to spark new inspiration for the year ahead.”
