TCF Financial Corporation recently announced the creation of a new advisory board to help provide a young, fresh perspective and bridge the age gap in finance and modern banking. The Emerging Leaders Advisory Board will be made up of a group of young and diverse leaders representing government, community non-profits, business owners, and banking.
The new advisory board will be comprised of eight TCF team members and seven external members and will work closely with TCF executives and board members to shrink the generational gap in sectors of finance.
Working specifically in the areas of technology and relationships in banking; workplace culture; financial needs of future generations; and corporate social responsibility, the Emerging Leaders Advisory Board can help bring new ideas to the forefront.
“It is important that, as a bank, we hear the voices of our younger leaders who are already reshaping how we do business and interact with each other. We are excited to work with this talented and diverse group of individuals who are leaders in their professions and communities,” says Gary Torgow, executive chairman of TCF Financial Corp. “Their forward-thinking ideas will add a new dimension to our bank and help us to shape the way we think about banking for years to come.”
In addition to their advisory positions, the new coalition will also establish educational programs around financial literacy and financial wellness specifically geared towards generations of the future. They will also advise on methods to not only bring new talent to the state, but retain the existing talent at home. The coalition will also help to position the bank to be a socially responsible leader in the financial realm.
“There is an immense amount of talent on this board, and I am eager to see the contributions they will make across the bank,” says Stephen Steinour, Huntington Bancshares chairman, president and CEO. “At Huntington, we are committed to welcoming all generations and diversity of customers and talent, so the work of the Emerging Leaders Advisory Board is extremely important.”
