Acacia leads the bank’s fundraising efforts each year for the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk, volunteers with God’s Pantry and Junior Achievement, and teaches financial literacy classes with Centro de San Juan Diego.
April has served as a Commerce Lexington ambassador and she sits on the Lafayette High School’s Youth Service Center advisory board. She also volunteers through her local church throughout the year with meal packing and Jesus Prom.
Sarah serves as a board member of the American Red Cross’ Bluegrass Area Chapter. She’s also a member of WROCK, and a volunteer for VIPS, which is Vision Interventions and Parental Support.
In addition to each of their individual contributions, as a group, the three spearheaded our internal Emerging Leaders program, creating the idea, schedules, learning sessions, homework, and so much more. Acacia, April, and Sarah are also active in the planning, preparation, and presentation of Lexington events that draw hundreds of customers and community members every year, like Haunted Hamburg and Pancakes With Santa.
The three accepted their award at Forcht Bank's annual Employee Appreciation Dinner in March.
