Robin Agnew | President, Bank of America Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach 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 advance racial equality and economic opportunity, support diverse and women entrepreneurs, build job skills and create opportunities to help people succeed in today’s and tomorrow’s economy. We’re investing in benefits and resources for our employees who serve our clients in their communities. And we’re doing our part to protect our planet.
Our presence in more than 90 local markets helps us make a difference across the country.
How we’re boosting the fight against hunger in Myrtle Beach
We’re committed to supporting our employees’ health and safety and to addressing our local communities’ most critical needs. That’s why we donated $100 to local hunger-relief organizations for each Bank of America employee in the U.S. who let us know they’ve received a booster shot.
Through this effort, our team in Myrtle Beach recently presented Help 4 Kids with a check for $25,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
Our Bank of America Myrtle Beach team is a close-knit family with deep roots in our local communities and a shared purpose to make a meaningful, positive impact throughout our neighborhoods. We responded to the challenges of the global pandemic by increasing our volunteerism throughout the region and for years have partnered with both academic institutions and nonprofit organizations to provide pathways to enriching employment for underserved youth.
We are proud to collaborate with local business leaders and help connect our neighbors with valuable job opportunities through targeted skill-building programs. To support the many small businesses that are vital to the economic advancement of this region, we have provided local entrepreneurs with access to funding and mentorship. And to further help our neighbors in need, we have partnered with community revitalization organizations and have sponsored courageous conversations to shed light on the issues that matter most to them.
Training tomorrow’s high-tech workers
South Carolina has been a top destination for businesses of all kinds, partly because it is home to a strong pool of skilled workers. Driving that success are schools like Horry-Georgetown Technical College (HGTC) and its Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Technologies programs. The two-year curriculum offers students the opportunity to learn in-demand, 21st century skills, ranging from 3D printing technology to robotic welding. Funding from Bank of America will allow HGTC to acquire new technology and upgrade equipment for the Advanced Manufacturing Program, plus support continuing education.
Racial equality and economic opportunity
At Bank of America, we’re committed to addressing the root causes of inequality through a company-wide commitment to advancing racial equality and economic opportunity across diverse communities. We are doing this by building upon our existing efforts and leveraging our strengths: creating more affordable housing and expanding home ownership, increasing lending and support to minority-owned small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We also know we can’t solve these challenges alone, so we’re partnering with other corporations, local nonprofits and community leaders across the country who share our vision for creating meaningful change.
