Looks like Comerica Bank will be adding a new face to a pivotal role. LaToya Rowell has been appointed as the National Community Affairs Manager.
Her responsibility will have her overlooking the bank’s national volunteer program while managing and upholding community initiatives and partnerships with the external affairs market team and social impact manager.
Other areas requiring her expertise are developing and maintaining relationships with key community stakeholders and strengthening relationships with minority groups including Asian Pacific Islander and Middle Easter communities for national business development.
Rowell will be reporting on all exchanges and future successes with Chief Community Officer, Irvin Ashford, Jr.
The CCO said he values and trusts her skillset and the integrity it brings,
“LaToya’s contributions to Comerica are invaluable,” Ashford said. “She has elevated the bank’s presence and impact in the diverse communities we serve through her oversight of our 19 business resource groups and financial education volunteer program. Her proven record of success has paved the way for this new opportunity.”
After joining the financial-based company in 2006, the Texas resident’s positioning included coordinating business affairs, assisting with corporate budgeting, office contributions and community affairs coordinator for Comerica’s business outreach efforts.
Outside of a growing list of accolades for her community involvement, Atlanta-based publication Rolling Out chose Rowell as an honoree for Sisters With Superpowers celebrating women in business, the arts, fashion and entrepreneurship in November.
She received The Great Volunteer Connector award in October for her connecting Comerica colleagues with civic and volunteer opportunities in Dallas at nonprofit adult education programs.
Other rewarding moments such as leading a campaign for the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship South Region earning Comerica a 2022 Corporate Volunteer of the Year award.
While the list goes on, Rowell found her earlier roots at the University of North Texas reap a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science Degree. She also obtained a Volunteer and Community Resource Management certificate.
During her time at the Art Institute of Dallas, the Comerica business liaison obtained a degree in Multimedia Design with a concentration on multimedia production form.
