Resource Networks | ||||||
Resource networks are Bank-sponsored, employee-driven groups that work voluntarily to enhance diversity and inclusion by organizing Bank events and activities for the benefit of all employees. Membership, meetings and attendance at resource network events are open to all Bank staff. The resource networks provide members with the opportunity to share common experiences, build cultural awareness and support the Bank’s business objectives by linking network business plans to the Bank’s business goals. The strategic direction of all networks requires outreach into four broad categories: recruitment and retention of diverse talent, professional development, innovation in Bank business, and community involvement. The networks provide professional development opportunities for leadership, offer exposure to senior officers, facilitate mentoring, sponsor outside speakers, assist with recruiting diverse candidates, and partner with new nonprofit and community groups.
