Bank of America named
Bank of America Greater Maryland.
She succeeds Sabina Kelly, who announced her retirement earlier this month.
As president, Currie will be responsible for connecting the banking and investment resources offered through the bank’s eight lines of business to companies, families and individuals across Greater Maryland. She will also lead the effort to deploy Bank of America’s resources to address social concerns, strengthen economic opportunity, and build strong communities, as well as support the health, safety and engagement of local teammates.
Currie holds nearly 30 years of experience as a financial industry leader and will continue her work to build and nurture relationships with community partners, key influencers and elected officials in Greater Maryland. She joined Bank of America in 1993 and has served in leadership roles within wealth management, consumer banking, operations and business control functions.
The big idea
The top motive people cite for their donations of US$50 million or more to colleges or universities was a desire to repay a university for what they or a loved one had gotten out of attending, according to a study we published last year. The second two most common reasons were an effort to simply do what they believe is the right thing and a wish to support a particular cause or political agenda.
We found this out when we researched the motives of 30 of these higher education megadonors, through random sampling, from 2010 to 2018 and reviewing about 1,700 publicly available documents and news items that discussed their gifts, including some that quoted the donors themselves. Many donors mentioned more than one motive when they explained why they gave so much money to a school.
