ABA showcases corporate social responsibility at banks.

• Position: AROUND THE ABA - American Bankers Association, - Brief article

THE ABA FOUNDATION HAS ANNOUNCED the launch of a new interactive map--"Banks in their Communities"--that showcases corporate social responsibility programs from banks across the country. The announcement was made at the recent White House Conference on Aging.

The map--featuring profiles from ABA's Community Commitment Awards submissions--allows users to search and view bank programs in six categories, including:

* Affordable housing.

* Community and economic development.

* Financial education.

* Nontraditional borrower and underbanked.

* Protecting older Americans.

* Volunteerism.

"Banks are constantly finding innovative and impactful ways to connect with the communities they serve," says Corey Carlisle, ABA senior vice president, bank community engagement. "This map was designed not only to acknowledge the great work banks have done, but to act as a resource for those looking to do more and to alert consumers of the programs available to them."
