“Bank on Women is an organization that elevates the voices of women leaders in banking and celebrates the value they bring to financial institutions. I am honored to accept this year’s Champion’s Award, and I am proud of the work the Fed does each day to support community banking,” Lisa said.

According to Bank on Women, a Champion is someone who actively engages the banking community in discussions about the importance of gender diversity and promotes talented women in banking. Lisa's career in SRC at the Richmond Fed has spanned 27 years and included various roles in community bank and large bank supervision before assuming the head of supervision role almost five years ago.

"Throughout her career, Lisa has served as an advocate and role model for women inside and outside of our organization. She has helped build the next generation of leaders, and I'm glad she's being recognized for this important work. Congratulations, Lisa."
