For more than 17 years, I have been proud to be part of Martha’s Vineyard Bank and its deep commitment to our community. The Bank actively encourages employees to give back by offering a program that allows each of us to designate a nonprofit of our choice to receive a Bank-funded donation. In addition, the Bank provides a matching donation program to further amplify our support. I am honored to work for an organization so genuinely invested in strengthening the communities where we live and work.
