Why do you value working at Lake City Bank?
I value working at Lake City Bank because of its commitment to community involvement and focus on building strong relationships with customers, local agencies and initiatives targeted to the varied communities in our footprint.

How does Lake City Bank exemplify its core value of inclusivity?
Departments across the bank demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity. In addition, the bank offers a variety of loan products and continuously works to improve them to benefit populations that are traditionally underserved.

What have Lake City Bank’s diversity and inclusion efforts taught you so far?
I’ve learned that diversity and inclusion are not just about race, but include gender, age, religion and anything that may make us different. Being inclusive and allowing variety at the table makes Lake City Bank a better organization overall, as we benefit from a variety of perspectives and can make more informed decisions. The concept of diversity and inclusion is not about allowing unqualified people opportunities; it is about affording qualified people opportunities that may not have been available because they don’t fit the status quo.
