First National Bank (FNB) has been a proud sponsor of Women to Women for many years. Through this partnership and others, FNB has been able to foster the belief that a company is an extension of the community it serves.
Andrea Bunn, a Regional Banking Executive at FNB for the Greensboro/Winston-Salem area, emphasizes how important it is for companies to give back.
“Those in a position to give back should lead by example to make a positive impact,” Andrea says.
Along with Women to Women, FNB works with a variety of other nonprofits and organizations like Junior Achievement of the Triad, to support the local needs of the community and provide assistance in areas such as financial education, entrepreneurship, affordable housing and first time homebuying.
Women to Women holds a special place in the community, Andrea says. The organization provides invaluable services and resources to uplift women so they can improve their quality of life. As a woman in an executive leadership role at a large regional bank, it is important to Andrea to support other women and serve as a role model.

“Many employees, including myself, have seen firsthand the positive impact Women to Women has had on women and young girls in the greater Greensboro area,” Andrea says.
FNB extends its efforts to drive greater inclusion, diversity and equity not just in the community, but also to build up their own culture with equal opportunities for professional growth and success. This ongoing commitment to strengthen the culture of the company helps bring in diverse talent, growing the company with the community.
Andrea has noticed a large nonprofit community in Greensboro, and is thrilled that her company supports this thriving, philanthropic culture.
FNB continues to support Women to Women with their work in the community. Andrea especially looks forward to working together with Women to Women to empower women and provide them with greater access to resources.
“Women to Women helps build stronger women and girls which has an exponential impact,” Andrea says. “Leading to an improved society which in turn helps First National Bank grow.”
