Sandy Springs, Georgia, December 8, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Signature Bank of Georgia has named Mary Ladd as the winner of its inaugural “Volunteer-of-the-Year” award.
Signature Bank President, Freddie Deutsch, honored Ladd in a ceremony at the bank’s Sandy Springs headquarters. “Mary’s tireless energy and willingness to volunteer for a wide range of worthy organizations sets an example for us all to follow,” Deutsch said. “Giving up her own personal time outside of bank hours to help those less fortunate shows her dedication and commitment to the true spirit of volunteerism.”
"To me, volunteering is simply participating in community activities and events that I enjoy and that make my heart feel good."
