Citizens Bank honors 72 colleagues with 25 years of service
Bank’s Credo Week celebration opens with unveiling of bricks to be installed at One Citizens Plaza
PROVIDENCE, R. I. – At a ceremony this morning, Citizens Financial Group CEO Bruce Van Saun unveiled 72 specially inscribed bricks honoring colleagues who have been with the bank for 25 years. The bricks, each bearing the name of an honoree, will be installed outside Citizens’ headquarters at One Citizens Plaza. More than 2,000 colleagues have been honored with bricks since the bank started the tradition in 1999.
The brick dedication takes place as part of Citizens’ Credo Week celebration, which recognizes colleagues’ hard work on behalf of the bank’s customers and local communities. Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo and Rhode Island Congressman David Cicilline joined company executives in congratulating honorees and their families at the ceremony.
“As we work hard on delivering for our customers and becoming a top-performing regional bank, we tip our hats to these special Citizens colleagues who have demonstrated such loyalty and commitment to our customers over the course of 25 years,” Van Saun said. “These 72 colleagues all joined Citizens in 1990, and have made significant contributions to our company since then, helping us grow, succeed and make a real difference for our customers and for the broader communities we serve.”
Credo Week celebrates the bank’s colleagues, customers and communities with various activities, including food drives, volunteer opportunities and community events.
