Great Western Bank (GreatWesternBank.com) is pleased to announce
the appointment of Macala Carter as the Bank’s first Director of
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). In this new role, Ms. Carter
will spearhead the Bank’s DEI strategy and develop measurable
institutional outcomes in support of an inclusive and diverse
workforce and culture reflective of the Bank’s communities.
Ms. Carter joined Great Western Bank in 2012. Ms. Carter was
appointed Chair of the DEI Council in early 2021 and has already
led several impactful initiatives, including the seven week #BeU
Campaign where Bank employees pledged to support DEI efforts,
participated in volunteer opportunities, training, the World Day of
Cultural Diversity and Cultural Culinary Experiences; speaking
events surrounding awareness and education for Juneteenth; and this
month’s Pride Month Campaign that includes training, LGBTQ speaking
events and Drag Queen Story Time.
“Macala’s passion for DE&I is infectious,” said Chief
Executive Officer, Mark Borrecco. “She is the right leader at the
right time.”
Ms. Carter’s commitment to DEI includes her work on various
volunteer initiatives and community organizations in Nebraska. Ms.
Carter serves as the Treasurer on the Board of Directors for
Leadership Lincoln, an organization that is dedicated to developing
diverse leadership; Vice President of the Board for the Lancaster
Foundation for Adults with Mental Disabilities, an organization
devoted to helping individuals with mental challenges; the
President-Elect of the Board of Directors for Family Services of
Lincoln, which provides quality programs and services to assist and
strengthen individuals and families; and has also volunteered on
the Boards of Girl Scouts USA and NetWorks. She is also a graduate
of the Nebraska Bankers Association and is a Selected Participant
of Leadership Nebraska.
Ms. Carter stated, “My commitment is to reinforce a culture that
recognizes what makes each of us both common and extraordinary and
to recognize and celebrate differences. In a truly diverse and
inclusive work environment, there’s increased job satisfaction, a
deepened level of trust, and heightened employee engagement. It’s a
simple equation; supporting diversity and inclusion is about adding
to, not taking away.”
