Heather Albright | President, Bank of America Arkansas
Arkansas is your home. It’s ours, too.
We are committed to helping our communities thrive - dedicating our resources to address the issues that matter most in each community where we live and work.
Taking action to support our communities, clients and teammates
Now as always, our commitment to help strengthen the communities we serve is unwavering. We’re partnering with local leaders and organizations to address critical needs, and to advance racial equality and economic opportunity. We’re collaborating with partners who support diverse entrepreneurs, build job skills and create opportunities to help people succeed in today’s and tomorrow’s economy. And we’re doing our part to help people stay healthy — including investing in benefits and resources for our employees who serve our clients in their communities.
Let’s build something together
Bank of America serves the vibrant local communities of Arkansas by engaging what makes each of them unique places in which to live and work, such as the new Arts Center being built in Little Rock that we are proud to support.
In 2020, we assisted the University of Arkansas for Medical Science’s efforts on the frontlines of the global pandemic by supplying a mobile unit that delivered access to tests and public health information to rural areas of the state.
We also engage our neighborhoods through job creation initiatives, such as partnering with the Little Rock Chamber Foundation to support the Ford Next Generation Learning model, which connects students with local businesses to shape curriculums focused on pathways to hiring. In addition, we support the Our House Career Center, which provides homeless and near-homeless individuals in Central Arkansas with pathways to employment opportunities, as well as P.A.R.K, an organization focused on enriching the lives of the area’s at-risk youth.
We view ourselves as a dedicated, local financial partner that leverages the resources of a leading international organization to serve the specialized needs of our business and individual customers throughout the state.
Lasting self-sufficiency
For folks struggling to get by, the threat of losing your home is a constant fear and a periodic reality. At the Little Rock nonprofit Our House, the core mission for more than 30 years has been helping residents of central Arkansas who have lost their homes — or who are at risk of doing so — succeed at work. Through its Career Center, the organization assists adults in finding jobs, building careers and achieving lasting self-sufficiency. Our House is expanding job training services to meet the added demand, helped by a grant from Bank of America.
Advancing Racial Equality and Economic Opportunity
The need for real progress on racial and economic inequality in the United States has been accentuated by the impact of the coronavirus on communities of color, and amplified by acts of injustice. We all have a role to play in helping move communities forward – an understanding that forms the foundation of Bank of America’s long-standing commitment to the people and communities it serves. And they’re at the heart of the bank’s $1.25 billion commitment over the next five years to advance racial equality and economic opportunity.

We remain committed to supporting you with your financial needs during the health crisis. Of course, nothing is more important than your health and safety, and we have taken multiple steps to minimize health risks, based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention. These steps we have taken in our financial centers include enhancing the daily cleaning procedures, implementing plastic screens and distancing markers, following local restrictions on the number of clients that can enter a financial center at one time, and requiring our employees to wear masks. In addition, we are requiring clients wear masks when visiting our financial centers.
