Community Difference Makers Podcast
Community Difference Makers podcast partners with United Way of Central Iowa
After four years, Bankers Trust is evolving Community Difference Makers in partnership with United Way of Central Iowa. Throughout the year, Emily Abbas, Bankers Trust Chief Consumer Banking and Marketing Officer, and United Way of Central Iowa leaders and nonprofit leaders will explore Central Iowa’s most pressing issues – food insecurity, housing, childcare, and safe and thriving youth. Each topic will feature four podcast episodes with the United Way of Central Iowa and other organizations that are collaborating to combat these issues. By highlighting the work already underway in the community, what is yet to come, and the impact that is possible when people work together, we hope to encourage continued collaboration that helps our entire community thrive.
