Independent Banker - June 2021 - 41

Q: Can you describe a
project you've worked
on or an experience
you've had that helped
your community?
Santibanez: We've had to
pivot and go into the virtual
realm, since we couldn't do
in-person volunteer activities.
We were able to find virtual
alternatives, such as Amazon
wish list drives for homeless
organizations, underserved
children's organizations [and]
a women's shelter.
Angelica Santibanez, 36
Community Reinvestment Act specialist
Bradesco BAC Florida Bank * Coral Gables, Fla.
* Created an employee fundraising campaign
that raised $12,000 for a local food
distribution program
* Serves her community as a board member
and advisory member on more than eight
organizations and committees
Galindo: The program I'm
most passionate about is our
bank's accelerator program,
the Woodforest Foundry. It's
a concept that really focuses
on mindset development for
entrepreneurs, versus growing a
business. There's a diff erence. If
you want somebody to scale their
business, you teach them how
to do a business plan. But if you
really want to take that business to
a whole other level that they never
even imagined, you've got to go
for the DNA [and] you've got to go
for the entrepreneurial mindset.
Kujundzic: We are trying
to give every possible
person the opportunity
to apply for Paycheck
Protection Program
loans and to guide them
through this whole
process on a personal
level. We don't have an
automated platform
where you upload the
documents and then
don't hear anything
for months. We are
handling each and every
application, each and
every question, each
and every forgiveness.
Roshan McArthur is a writer in California.
" A lot of immigrants come to the U.S. and don't
trust the bank. ... I have a goal to ensure that
every American understands the financial
landscape and how to utilize that vehicle. "
-Daniel Galindo, Woodforest National Bank

development and strategy
