Lake City Bank is a growing company, fostering growth and success in the communities we serve is our main goal and at our core. The executive team’s focus on doing the simple business of banking is exceptional. The frontline workers who cultivate relationships and the back-office team members who support the efficient execution of our mission makes it feel like each person in the organization understands, and keeps top of mind, that we’re here to help our customers and our communities.

I feel Lake City Bank values the input of employees and community members alike. Everyone has different experiences and backgrounds, which is important for improving the business, especially as a community bank.

What have Lake City Bank’s diversity and inclusion efforts taught you so far?
Since becoming a Diversity and Inclusion task force member, I learned that we all have a story, and those stories are important to the overall fabric of the organization. It’s important for each of us to be mindful of our own experiences and not only listen but encourage others to participate in the conversation.

Inclusivity, one of Lake City Bank’s core values, underscores the bank’s commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture with equal opportunities for all employees.
