TUPELO, Miss., March 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Renasant
(NASDAQ: RNST) announced today the launch of Rise with Renasant,
www.risewithrenasant.com, its new women's professional leadership
program. The program consists of three initiatives - 1) internal
professional development for women who work at Renasant, 2)
promoting external professional development and opportunities for
women entrepreneurs, and 3) outreach to young women to promote
leadership and careers in banking and business.
"We are excited to announce this leadership program, Rise with
Renasant, powered by women for women," said Liz McIntyre, Director of Social Media and
Public Relations. "Women are an equal part of what makes businesses
successful, and we are helping them take advantage of opportunities
to grow professionally, especially within our company and the
financial services industry."
The internal professional development initiative for women
associates will be a series of programs on professional growth,
success, and peer networking. These programs will be offered
throughout the Renasant footprint.
Rise with Renasant will support external programs such as The
Nest, a women's leadership series led by Tracey Morant Adams, Chief Community Development
& Corporate Social Responsibility Officer for Renasant. This
program will aid in the professional and financial development of
women entrepreneurs designed to educate and encourage women to
intentionally plan and prepare their financial wellbeing.
"Women entrepreneurs and small business owners represent a
significant and important sector of the U.S. economic landscape.
Renasant is committed to the growth and sustainability of
businesses as a core value of the company's corporate social
responsibility agenda. We are proud to introduce a new program in
support of our Renasant Roots Community Empowerment Program and
Rise with Renasant, called The Nest, a platform geared towards
effective business development and financial technical assistance
for women-owned business leaders. Implementation of this initiative
reinforces Renasant's reputation for understanding and meeting the
needs of our small business community," says Morant Adams.
The third part of Rise with Renasant, led by McIntyre, will
focus on reaching out to young women in school to promote the
future of women in banking and business, social media etiquette,
and the concept of women supporting women.
"We want to give our own associates, along with the women and
girls we serve, opportunities to succeed and achieve their
professional goals – whether that is gaining the skills and
confidence to attain the job they want, starting a new business, or
finding the path to personal and professional success. Our ultimate
goal? To help women 'rise' to the professional level they want to
be," says McIntyre.
