The many benefits Employee Networks provide
to employees, the bank and the community
Bank of America's Employee Networks are a vital part of the bank’s culture, and contribute to the
organization in many ways, including overall business strategy. A healthy Employee Network culture helps
the bank by enhancing employee satisfaction, increasing retention, improving workplace relationships and
even increasing productivity. On top of these benefits, Employee Networks have a positive community
impact and help the bank achieve its corporate social responsibility goals.
Of course, Employee Network members gain quite a bit by participating in network chapters, leadership
and events. Among the benefits are ones that greatly impact career development:
Accept broader responsibility: Gain experience from larger and more complex tasks
Manage change and overcome obstacles: Learn how to be flexible and adaptable
Gain access to best practices: Experience other ways to do a job
Build and maintain relationships: Gain interpersonal skills
Visit Flagscape for the list of Diversity and Inclusion
Awards.
Influence and coach: Refine knowledge and communicate better
Be decisive and think strategically: Balance strategy, collaboration and execution
But the real benefit of the Employee Networks is right there in the name: networks. Employees can
connect with colleagues in different lines of business, at different levels, in different locations. These
personal and professional connections result in new projects, initiatives, business strategies, community
outreach, positions and opportunities, not to mention new friendships — all of which bring increased
satisfaction to employees, and significant advantages to the enterprise.

Raising the bar for our managers
Helping managers create an inclusive environment
We recently introduced a new learning program – myD&I – a two-week learning series designed to help
managers become even better leaders by being inclusive leaders. Experts featured were best-selling
authors, TED Talks presenters, academics and bank leaders. They focused on topics like the importance of
Employee Networks, understanding generational diversity, accepting someone’s sexual orientation, and
how easy it is to incorporate diversity and inclusivity into your work environment.
Audio and video recordings of the myD&I sessions are
available on the Manager Excellence website. Just click
on “Inclusive Leadership” under “Monthly topics” to
access both full session replays and, because we know
you’re busy, 10 minute highlights.

Attracting talented students of all backgrounds
Recruitment: MLN
“Networks play a role in propelling Bank of America forward as an employer of choice”
Europe’s Multicultural Leadership Network has made a big push to help Bank of America meet and recruit
promising young students from under-served populations. Through partnerships with organizations such as the
African Caribbean Society (ACS) and Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO), MLN introduces students to
career possibilities that they might not otherwise be exposed to, and gives the bank the opportunity to engage
with a motivated pool of candidates.
MLN hosted an event for 20 students from ACS, an organization for high-achieving candidates who have
an African and/or Caribbean background. The students attended a networking breakfast at the bank’s
offices and heard from MLN members who shared their experiences of working at Bank of America.
Because the group of students was relatively small, the MLN members were able to connect with them
more effectively than is often the case, and students appreciated seeing that people from a variety of
backgrounds can find success and satisfaction at Bank of America.
MLN also works closely with Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, which “provides access, training and
mentoring for outstanding young people from under-represented and under-served communities.” SEO
works with both high school and university students and exposes them to career options in a variety of
industries, including financial, with the goal of motivating them to attend university.
MLN has hosted groups of SEO students, who spend a few hours to a few days at the bank, attending
networking events, panels, and presentations, helping students see Bank of America offers opportunities
to people of all backgrounds.
These events are about showing students from underprivileged areas that Bank of America isn’t a
homogenous environment, but instead that people who look like them and are from similar backgrounds
are succeeding here. This inspires and motivates the students to consider banking as an opportunity for
their future.

Bridging the generational gaps
Professional development: IGEN
“Networks play a significant role in maximizing Bank of America’s global intelligence and
leadership capability”
The Inter-Generational Employee Network, or IGEN, has in its two years of existence built a strong focus on
professional development. In 2013, it launched two courses: “Understanding the Generations,” a brief web-based
training that introduces the events that shaped the four different generations currently in the workforce, and
“Communicating and Managing Across the Generations,” a 90-minute workshop that helps participants work
more effectively across generations.
The IGEN Enterprise Leaders, Anna Ettin and Mary Ann Portt, both sit in Global Learning, so developing
the courses came naturally to them. The two are subject matter experts who sourced all the content and
created the sessions, which were formally launched in February 2014.
The workshop has been held more than 12 times, and almost all the sessions have been packed. It
targets Bands 4 to 6 — a critical level consisting of those who are really the frontline managers for the
enterprise. Helping this population better understand how to bridge the gaps between different
generations benefits the organization as a whole. Through group discussion and coaching sessions,
participants recognize the generalizations about the generations and identify which apply and which do
not — and how to work through them to create a stronger workplace environment.
Anna and Mary Ann continue to evolve both courses in response to both internal feedback and external
developments in the field, and are planning to host additional sessions over the coming year.

Building awareness through personal stories
Workplace environment: DAN
“Networks play a role in creating a more inclusive workplace culture”
The Disability Advocacy Network, or DAN, is a source of support and information for employees with
disabilities, or employees who are family members, friends or caregivers of someone with a disability.
Part of its vision is to make Bank of America more welcoming to those impacted by disability, and several
of its programs are designed to build awareness of the unique challenges faced by this community.
Every other month, the Chicago Chapter hosts the Associate Spotlight Series, a brown bag lunch featuring
two members of the DAN community who share their stories of how a disability either impacted their life
or that of a friend or family member. The goal of these popular events is to broaden knowledge and
awareness of living and working with disabilities, and each includes a Q&A session to engage employees
in conversations about these important issues and to enhance their sensitivity.
Often, after an event focused on a specific topic, such as raising autistic children, spin-off support groups
form to provide ongoing engagement around specific disabilities.
← Previous
Next →
The associate spotlight series has been extremely
successful. We’ve noticed employees are more
engaged when the stories are coming from their
colleagues, and there’s always an inspiring angle that
makes these events very positive and encouraging
to the wider bank community.

Maintaining valuable relationships for the bank
Business Strategy: NAPN
“Networks play a role in ensuring Bank of America’s Competitive Advantage”
The Native American Professional Network has long helped Bank of America with its relationships with Tribes and
their businesses across the country. Part of this work involves educating the bank’s leadership on issues
important to Native Americans and Alaskan Natives, so the bank can better connect with these communities.
One issue that comes up for Native American leaders is the use of Native American based “mascots” for
professional sports teams. Bank of America has created marketing campaigns with the Atlanta Braves and
is a corporate sponsor of the Washington Redskins, and NAPN members have met with the bank’s
leaders to build awareness of the Native American perspective on this issue.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the largest provider of capital to Tribes and tribally owned enterprises
and has a significant number of Native American clients in its large and active gaming practice and wealth
management business lines, so the risks involved in these types of sponsorships go beyond reputation —
they could also affect the bank’s business if the Tribes decided to pull their business with us.
When Bank of America ran a debit card marketing campaign on its external website in partnership with
the Atlanta Braves that featured the copy “Now the most dedicated Braves fans can chop while they
shop,” NAPN pointed out the campaign’s potentially offensive interpretation, and that it conflicted with
the bank’s core value of “Act Responsibly.” The page was removed from the bank’s external website.
In this, and in its efforts to raise awareness of how Native Americans perceive the Washington Redskins
mascot, NAPN leaders are working toward two key goals. First, by providing Indian Country market
intelligence and center of influence feedback on an issue that tends to escape mainstream media
coverage, NAPN leaders are working to protect a robust and recurring business in the Native American
market. Second, by building awareness of issues affecting Native American and Alaskan Natives, they are
helping to create a workplace that is welcoming to Native American employees.
← Previous
We’ve worked hard to educate our colleagues on
the issue of Native American sports mascots — an
issue that has been getting more and more
attention in the larger culture. We’ve seen some
traction over the past year and are pleased that
senior leaders are taking this issue seriously as one
that impacts not just the bank’s reputation, but also
potentially its business lines and Native American
employees.

Expanding volunteer opportunities for all
members
Community service: Leadership, Education, Advocacy and Development (LEAD) for
Women
“Networks play a role in helping Bank of America contribute to a better world”
In Bank of America’s larger markets, Employee Network members usually have plenty of opportunities to
participate in organized volunteer events and programs in their communities. LEAD for Women partners with a
variety of charitable organizations that have chapters around the country, and it lists these organizations on its
Sharepoint page. LEAD for Women members can find different opportunities and then plug into these
organizations to volunteer in their communities.
For instance, LEAD for Women has long partnered with Susan G. Komen, and its larger chapters typically
organize groups who then raise money at local Race for the Cure events. Now, through its Sharepoint
page, LEAD for Women encourages members in other markets to take the initiative to register for or
volunteer at Race for the Cure events, which leads to greater participation across the enterprise.
Visit the LEAD for Women page on the
Global Employee Network site.
LEAD for Women promotes these opportunities in conjunction with Bank of America Community
Volunteers, since BACCV has relationships with many of the community organizations. Members are also
encouraged to find individual volunteer opportunities that align with LEAD for Women goals.
LEAD for Women also helps members find volunteer opportunities through The Community Corps, which
matches tech professionals to non-profits and schools who are in need of volunteers with those skills.
Potential volunteers post profiles of their technical skills and expertise, and organizations looking for
those skill sets can then reach out to the individuals, making it easier for LEAD for Women members to
connect with their communities in a meaningful way.
Many associates, however, are in markets or offices where there is not as strong a presence, and they
can miss out on opportunities to engage in network activities. LEAD for Women is addressing this issue in
interesting and successful ways through their Virtual chapter.
LEAD for Women offers up these opportunities so
that any member, in any part of the country, can
volunteer and know that they are contributing to the
network, to the bank, and to their communities.
Dawn Morse, VP,
Operations Consultant
“Community involvement has always been an important focus for LEAD for Women,” says Missy McBride,
AVP, Business Support Manager . “We are expanding the volunteer opportunities so that any member, no
matter where she lives and works, has options for serving her local community. In fact, our tagline for
this year is ‘Finding Your Volunteer Voice and Connecting in Your Own Backyard.’”
LEAD for Women is also working to develop virtual volunteering opportunities, which provide more
flexibility to a wider group of members. A good example is ICouldBe.org: volunteers set up an online
profile that includes their job history, and students from across the country search the profiles to find
mentors who then answer questions about their careers and provide advice on course work and college
applications. The relationships are completely virtual and last for one school year.

Along with the numerous benefits that the Employee Networks provide to the bank’s workplace
environment and culture, there are external benefits as well. Employee Networks strike up strong and
productive partnerships with a variety of organizations, and these relationships enhance the bank’s
position as a leader in diversity and inclusion, and create opportunities to recruit top talent and build
stronger ties to our communities.
Through the Employee Network Grant Program, Employee Networks partner with national nonprofit
organizations, providing funding, volunteer time and expertise to the organizations, on both a national
and local level.
Bank of America also partners with professional organizations that advance diversity and inclusion in the
workplace. These partnerships offer professional development and recruiting opportunities to associates,
and also help strengthen our ties to our communities.

The Employee Network Grant Program:
National reach, local impact
Bank of America’s Employee Network Grant Program was launched in 2007 to give each Employee
Network in the U.S. the opportunity to identify and sponsor a relevant nonprofit organization. The
program was designed to develop the bank’s commitment to diversity programs and groups. Employee
Networks coordinate volunteer efforts at the national level, partnering with organizations that have a
larger impact but that also provide rewarding community service and leadership opportunities for
associates on a local level.
Through the Employee Network Grant Program, the organizations receive a grant from the bank, but
more important, they have access to a highly engaged, committed team of volunteers and advisors. The
program, which is run in partnership with Corporate Social Responsibility, demonstrates the bank’s
holistic approach to community relationships and diversity efforts.

Grant Program visit the Foundation Page.

Open to all employees, the Asian Leadership Network (ALN) provides opportunities for its members
through networking, mentor programs, information forums and celebrations of Asian culture. The ALN
serves as a resource for employees who are Asian and colleagues who support our mission. Members are
committed to fostering an environment that accepts, values and encourages diversity, and that honors
the rich traditions that Asian employees bring to the bank.
5,900 members
Mission
Purna Saggurti
Create a community of Asian-American employees in the bank to collaborate on common initiatives such
as career development, leadership development, community outreach and cultural education. Each
chapter drives ALN’s mission and works to eliminate cultural barriers by enhancing Bank of America’s
corporate culture with Asian-American cultural values.

Cultural Events
The Asian-American communities at Bank of America have a diverse and rich cultural heritage, and
throughout the year, ALN chapters organize events that bring this heritage to life for the bank as a whole.
aln_global@bankofamerica.com
The ALN Lunar New Year events are particularly successful and well-attended. The events introduce
different Asian cuisines, dances, artifacts and cultural practices as a way to celebrate Asian communities
and help associates better understand Asian cultures, which will benefit business development.
One of ALN’s most significant cultural activities for Bank of America associates is the Dragon Boat
Festivals. ALN organizes teams for Dragon Boat races, which are competitive races held from May to
September, involving local community clubs, organizations, businesses and corporations. In 2014, six
chapters participated in the Dragon Boat Festival, Delaware and Boston won the gold medal and Seattle
won the bronze medal for this competition. Aside from the thrill of winning a medal, all teams who take
on this challenge definitely experience greater camaraderie, an opportunity to increase our community
involvement and brand marketing.
ALN Festival of Light celebrations in New Jersey/New York, Jacksonville, Charlotte and Delaware gave
bank associates additional opportunities to learn about the cultural heritages of different Asian
communities and provided networking opportunities to members.
Grant Partnerships
ALN continued its grant partnership with the National Association of Asian-American Professionals
(NAAAP), centering its activities on local community volunteer opportunities; in 2013, over 50 events
were held, with a total of 1500 volunteers and 4200 estimated volunteer hours. Nine ALN chapters are
matched with NAAAP locations: Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Phoenix, Southern
California and Wilmington/Philadelphia.
ALN also partners with ASCEND, the largest non-profit, Pan-Asian organization for business professionals
in North America. The Chicago ALN chapter does an annual student leadership conference, with training
activities, seminars and executive panel discussions that provides students the opportunity to meet with
various companies. ALN members attend regional ASCEND conferences for networking and leadership
development.
In August, ALN Charlotte hosted the launch of the ASCEND Charlotte chapter and a professional
development session on the “Myths of Asian Leadership.” The professional development session was
facilitated by Wes Hom, ASCEND board member, and was focused on the limited representation of Asians
in executive positions and how that can be attributed to underdeveloped leadership. The event was

attended by over 200 Charlotte employees.
The Speaker Series
As part of its focus on professional development, ALN runs a robust national speaker series, bringing a
wide range of topics from Resiliency to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program and providing ALN

members with an opportunity to hear senior executives talk about networking, skills and career
development. These virtual sessions, held nearly every month, are well-attended and are also recorded
and made available for a period of time. Recently, ALN has begun co-hosting these events with other
networks. For instance, in June 2014, a professional development talk co-hosted by ALN and LGBT Pride
attracted over 400 attendees.
ALN also holds technical skills development opportunities such as SAS User Group Conference hosted by
the Delaware chapter, open to all bank employees in the region looking to broaden their knowledge of
SAS software.

As a community, we have great bench strength and
many senior leaders, but we’re always trying to
figure out ways to help Asians break through their
cultural barriers. It’s not just about more
professional development, training and mentoring;
it’s also about educating non-Asians about us, which
is why we place a strong focus on cultural heritage.

“Own Your Career” Series
Launched in early 2013, BPG’s “Own Your Career” Series of monthly virtual seminars has been an
extraordinary success, reaching associates throughout the bank who benefit from the professional
development expertise of executives from a wide range of LOBs and regions. Topics have included
“Rebranding Yourself,” “Managing Up, Down & Sideways,” “Personal Accountability,” “Acing the
Interview” and “Effective Networking.”
“We’ve developed a strong focus on professional development, and after seeing the incredible interest in
these seminars in 2013, we decided to continue the series in 2014,” says Roderick Wilson, BPG Enterprise
Leader. “There has been continued growth in the number of associates – both BPG members and others –
attending the calls and listening to the playbacks. We’ve had over 3000 unique participants as of mid2014, and we’ve also seen increased interest from executives who want to lead a session.”
“There’s a business strategy component to the series as well,” adds Miyoshi West, BPG Enterprise Leader.
“The seminars have become a resource to LOB leaders and other executives who want to share the
information with their teams. They ask us if they can share the event invitation with their departments,
or if we can deliver the content on LOB calls or in other venues.”
Thanks to the visibility provided by the “Own Your Career” Series, BPG has seen increased interest in
network membership and in other network events. More important, the series has helped associates take
ownership of their career development to build a broader range of skills that will help them in both their
current and future roles.
Grant Partnership
For the fourth year, BPG has partnered with the National CARES Mentoring Movement, an organization
that provides academic and personal support to African-American children in need. BPG chapters work
with local National CARES offices to develop ongoing mentoring programs to help local students succeed
in school and in life.
Several BPG chapters stand out for their work with National CARES. The Los Angeles chapter has set a
high standard for innovative and effective programming, while the Atlanta chapter set up a Saturday
mentoring program several years ago that is still going strong. The city of Greensboro, North Carolina,
recognized BPG members for their work with National CARES.
Satellite Chapter
In response to increasing demands for BPG’s presence in uncharted regions of the Americas, BPG is
launching a new satellite chapter model which, for BPG, was seen as a more practical way of ensuring
BPG long-term
Directory success in growing the organization’s footprint. The first satellite chapter is launching in
Memphis, Tennessee, with the Atlanta chapter of BPG (one of the very first BPG chapters) serving as the
model/mentor chapter for Memphis to help ensure a successful inaugural year for the new BPG leaders
and members.
“We want to make sure we’re creating a sustainable infrastructure for our chapters, and also 4:10:42

path for new chapters,” says BPG Enterprise Leader Miyoshi West. “Establishing a new chapter can be a
tricky process. What better way to avoid some of the typical pitfalls and growing pains than to have a
very established chapter act as a mentor and guide as the new chapter gets up and running.”

For me, being part of an Employee Network creates
a stronger loyalty to the bank as a whole, and gives
me a more well-rounded experience. I’m not just
heads down in my silo, focused only my work on a
day-to-day basis. Instead, I feel like I’m making an
impact on the organization that benefits my
teammates, so we can all remain loyal and dedicated
to our employer.

Open to all employees, the Disability Advocacy Network (DAN) is a source of support and information for
employees with disabilities, or employees who are family members, friends or caregivers of someone
with a disability. Through programs that encourage partnerships, embrace differences and promote
creativity, DAN presents opportunities for awareness and education.
1,700 members
Mission
Enterprise Leaders
The mission of DAN is to live and promote (internally and externally) the Bank’s commitment to people
impacted by disabilities through awareness and education opportunities, and volunteer activities in the
local communities where our employees and customers live and work. DAN is also a source of support
and information for employees with disabilities and employees who are impacted by family members,
friends or customers with disabilities, and is committed to creating opportunities for professional
advancement and development through networking, mentoring and information forums.
Activities
Chapter Mentoring
As every enterprise-level Employee Network leader knows, the role can start to feel like a full-time job,
especially when it comes to helping chapter leaders with guidance and information. To help address this
workload, and to inspire and motivate some of DAN’s smaller chapters, DAN’s leadership has begun a
chapter mentorship program. Smaller chapters are paired with strong and active chapters who share best
practices, help them navigate necessary processes and field questions in a timely manner. Not only is the
program supporting chapters that might otherwise be struggling, but it is also creating new connections
across regions that result in a healthier network overall.
Grant Partner: Special Olympics
DAN has chosen the Special Olympics as its grant partner. Bank of America has been a significant sponsor
of the Special Olympics for over three decades, and this support has helped DAN established a
relationship on both a national and local level with the organization. Over the coming year, DAN is
working with Special Olympics on its Athlete Leadership Programs, or ALPs; DAN members will help with
courses for Special Olympians on financial literacy and leadership training and will coordinate volunteer
opportunities in different regions across the country.
National Disability Institute
In addition to its partnership with Special Olympics, DAN has a long-term partnership with the National
Disability Institute, which provides guidance on the disability awareness training that is core to DAN’s
mission.
Partnering with Other Employee Networks
In February 2014, the New York chapters of ALN, DAN, HOLA and LEAD for Women hosted a Health &
Wellness Fair at One Bryant Park. The event provided an opportunity for employees to engage with
various health practitioners who shared tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle.
DAN and MSAG co-sponsored a day with Sail to Prevail, a non-profit organization in Newport, RI, that
creates opportunities for disabled children and adults to overcome adversity through the therapeutic
benefits of sailing.
DAN and MSAG co-sponsored Goodwill’s Annual Suits for Vets Program. The campaign offers professional
outfits to military men and women as a way to thank them for their service to our country and to
support their job search. Thanks to clothing donations from bank associations, DAN and MSAG were able
to provide professional and work attire to 956 veterans.
At the Disability Mentoring Day, DAN and MSAG welcomed nearly 200 Bank of America volunteers and
mentees who participated in a day-long mentoring program to assist people with disabilities and veterans
find employment opportunities. The event was in partnership with the Mayor’s Office for People with
DAN Directory
Disabilities, the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and the National Business Disability Council.
DAN and LGBT Pride are planning a panel and training around unconscious bias, to be held in late 2014
or early 2015. The event is a spin-off from My D&I Week in spring 2014, which included a course for
leaders on unconscious bias that was extremely well-received. The panel will feature DAN 4:14:14
and LGBT

members who have a hidden dimension of difference who will share their experiences of facing
unconscious bias in the workplace. The training session will help attendees understand their own
unconscious biases and increase awareness of those hidden points of diversity.

HOLA Next Generation
This was a year of assessment and change for Hispanic/Latino Organization for Leadership &
Advancement. The network has been in existence for 10 years, and it was time to evolve its vision,
mission and goals by carefully evaluating what HOLA members and the enterprise as a whole need from
an Employee Network. The outcome of this process — dubbed “HOLA Next Generation” — speaks to a
sophisticated and strong organization that has recruitment, professional development and business
strategy as its key areas of focus.
HOLA has always naturally been focused on community involvement and workplace environment, and it
still is, on a chapter level. But as the leaders thought about what could be accomplished strategically for
the bank on an enterprise level, they identified recruiting and business strategy as the areas where the
network could most contribute.
As is true of many of the networks, HOLA has long had a strong emphasis on professional development.
After all, helping members grow and succeed at the bank is core to what has always been important to
the Employee Networks. But by evaluating the network against the progression model, the leaders saw
the need to better engage the bank’s executives in order to bring the network’s professional
development efforts to the next level. Now, in alliance with the bank’s new Hispanic/Latino Leadership
Council (HLLC), HOLA is providing its members with more opportunities to engage with senior executives
in many regions and lines of business. The HLLC is also a great resource for recruiting events, which
speaks to another area of focus for HOLA.
And finally, the network has made a strong effort to support the bank’s strategic business objectives — a
great fit for HOLA. As Enterprise Leader Ofelia Munoz says, “We are finding ways to leverage the power
of the more than 6000 members of HOLA to help the bank develop and market products and services for
the Hispanic/Latino market — one of the fastest-growing demographics in the country.”
Grant Partner: Feeding America
Today, one in six people in the U.S. does not have enough to eat — and that percentage is even more
dramatic for Hispanic-Americans, where the number rises to one in four. For its grant partnership, HOLA
wanted to work with an organization dedicated to addressing this issue, and Feeding America’s footprint
matches very well with HOLA’s chapter footprint, which means many HOLA members have the
opportunity to volunteer at a local food bank or food distribution centers.
To help get HOLA members engaged with Feeding America, co-chair Robert Martinez came up with a
contest: the four chapters with the highest number of volunteer hours would each be able to give a

grant to their local Feeding America affiliate. This created some serious healthy competition and
created a stronger bond between HOLA and Feeding America.
Other Partnerships
HOLA also aligns with ALPFA, the largest Latino association for business professionals and students.
Thanks to this partnership, and with support from the HLLC, Bank of America employees receive a 50
percent discount on ALPFA memberships, and bank associates serve on ALPFA’s board and help

In addition, HOLA partners with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the National Council of La Raza, the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the National Society of Hispanic MBAs, each of which provides
professional development opportunities for HOLA members and business strategy opportunities for the
bank as a whole.

Overview
Directory
Inter-Generational Employee Network (IGEN) is the bank’s youngest Employee Network, founded in 2012.
IGEN was designed to explore generational diversity and dynamics at Bank of America and in the
workplace, discuss opportunities and challenges facing members of each generation, gain new skills for
interacting across generations and bridge communication gaps which may exist between the generations.
IGEN also focuses on promoting employee and business growth through partnerships with other
Employee Networks, Bank of America Community Volunteers and Diversity & Inclusion Business Councils.

Mission
Mary Ann Portt
IGEN’s mission is to promote generational diversity as a necessary component of an inclusive corporate
environment by raising visibility, driving awareness and encouraging opportunities for employees and the
business.

From the start, IGEN has been focused on providing strategic consulting to the bank’s business leaders. As
Enterprise Leader Anna Ettin says, “This is a new field of thought, for the bank and for the business world
in general. Here, nobody owns generational diversity strategy as a day job, so there’s an opportunity for
IGEN members, as subject matter experts, to help out with workplace environment and business
development.”
IGEN leaders have worked with line of business leaders in several organizations including Global
Commercial Bank, Global Learning and Global Risk to share insight into generational diversity and its
impact on and value in the workplace and client relationships. IGEN provides insights as leaders think
about ways to help employees from different generations work more effectively together, and to think
strategically about their customer base: the generational preferences for tools and services and how the
bank can better serve them. For example, IGEN works with leaders in Global Wealth & Investment
Management who are exploring opportunities for products and services to support multi-generational
wealth planning and wealth transfer.
The Next Generation
IGEN promotes understanding of the different generations currently in the U.S. workforce —
Traditionalists (born 1922-1945), Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964), Generation X (born 1965-1979), and
Generation Y (born 1980-2000). Next up is Generation Z, sometimes called the Plurals or Globals — those
born between 2000 and the present. This is the most diverse generation in U.S. history, with a lifelong
use of technology and social media and a different outlook on the world. In just a few years, this
generation will begin entering the workforce, and IGEN has begun thinking about their particular
characteristics, with the goal of providing consultative services to the bank so that it can address this
generation’s needs as both employees and customers.
New Chapters
IGEN’s first chapter, Atlanta, was established in 2012. Expansion includes chapters in Los Angeles,
established in September 2013 and Houston, launched in January 2014. Jacksonville and Phoenix also
introduced future chapters to be launched in late 2014.
In assessing where to start new chapters, IGEN’s leadership looks at the number of people in a given
market who have expressed interest in joining IGEN through the network’s website. They also speak with
Market Presidents, Local Market Delivery leaders, along with other Employee Network and Bank of
America Community Volunteers leaders to determine the amount of activity and support in each location.
IGEN is looking at several additional markets for the coming year and is exploring interest from associates
outside of the U.S.

Recognition
Since its launch in 2012, IGEN has built a membership of over more than 1500 and contributed invaluable
strategic insight to the bank’s business leaders. For their efforts in launching and leading the network
over the past three years, IGEN enterprise leaders Anna Ettin and Mary Ann Portt received Global

Diversity & Inclusion Awards.
On the Horizon: Reciprocal Mentoring
In the coming year, IGEN leaders hope to offer a pilot program on reciprocal mentoring. “This takes the
concept of reverse mentoring a step further and acknowledges that mentoring should really be a twoway street,” says Enterprise Leader Mary Ann Portt. “While any good mentoring relationship should offer
value to both parties, there’s value in being purposeful about a reciprocal model — both people coming
to the table with specific goals around what they would like to get out of the relationship, and ideas on
how to make the mentoring valuable to each.” IGEN has begun to share this concept with bank
leadership and has begun to solicit ideas for the best way to bring it to life.

For LEAD for Women, the past year was one of re-laying the foundation for ongoing growth, building
stronger partnerships and setting the network up for success. Under the leadership of the Executive
Sponsors, LEAD for Women established a 3-year strategic plan which priorities include “LEAD, CONNECT,
and DELIVER.” Aligning the LEAD for Women structure to maximize shared resources and best practices
across the Employee Network to enable organizational excellence has been key this year.

The network restructured its organization to better support the chapters and members. Now, the
network has been re-organized into five regions, supported by a regional team which includes an
enterprise regional leader, chapter, virtual integration, program & events and finance liaisons. The
regional teams have the responsibility of supporting six to eight chapters — creating a more manageable
and collaborative partnership, and implementing regional management routines to share best practices,
provide enterprise/D&I information and address chapter health issues.
Whether it was through the migration of 35 active chapters to the Global Employee Network site or
supporting the implementation of the EN Mentoring Tool to provide efficiency gains for chapters with
mentoring programs, the network continues to focus on delivering. Even as new chapters are established,
including three in 2013: Tennessee; Sacramento, CA; and Sarasota/Bradenton, FL, LEAD for Women will
remained centered on the vision of continued growth as a dynamic Employee Network that serves as a
trusted resource for women to realize their full capabilities at Bank of America.
Planning
As it approaches its ten-year anniversary, LEAD for Women is taking stock of what it has accomplished
and where it is headed. On an enterprise level, LEAD for Women is focusing on aligning its strategic plan
to the five pillars. Through a month long collaboration with 19 chapters, LEAD for Women has developed
action plans that includes goals, tactics and metrics for monitoring progress against the pillars. With the
partnership between the regional teams and the chapters, LEAD for Women will be positioned to focus
on choosing activities that align with those pillars. Through the development of the Best in Class Event
Repository, chapter leaders will have access to the best events (including including project plans and
materials from previous events) across LEAD for Women chapters, which will enable alignment to the
pillars.

LEAD for Women is also focusing on better integrating with the network’s international chapters as well

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) Pride Employee Network provides education, advocacy
and visibility for associates, customers and clients, and allies in support of the bank’s goal of being the
most admired company in the world. Our focus is a truly inclusive environment that encourages people to
bring their whole selves to work.

Out & Equal Summit
At the 16th annual Out & Equal Summit, held in San Francisco in November 2014, LGBT Pride members
focused on assessing our progress in the past year toward achieving our new mission to be the best place
to work for LGBT people. In 2014, the team aligned the work under three strategic priorities: Attract,
Retain, Develop and will continue to do so in 2015. Examples of strategic priority work streams are the
LGBT Pride Ally Program (details below) and the LGBT Training & Panel sessions, both implemented and
managed by the employee network, and achieving much broader participation
in 2014.
Throughout the year, LGBT Pride partners with Out & Equal for training and resources that help the
network create equality in the workplace. Out & Equal certifies LGBT Pride members as trainers for LGBT
Training & Panel sessions that focus on improving the workplace environment for LGBT people; in the
past two years, LGBT Pride has gone from having five certified trainers to having 18, with 10 more in the
process to cover both Enterprise virtual sessions and market/local sessions. For 2015, the LGBT Training &
Panel session will be one of the company’s Diversity & Inclusion training priorities, providing broader
visibility and access to the sessions.
LGBT Pride Ally Program
Launched in June 2013, the LGBT Pride Ally Program has registered almost 12,000 allies and 4,900 LGBT
members from more than 1,000 cities in 43 countries across the globe. In 2014, LGBT Pride launched the
“Drive to 25K” which helped to drive the significant increases. The program has been recognized both
internally and externally with Global Diversity & Inclusion Awards, the National Business Inclusion
Consortium’s Program of the Year Award and the Ally Program executive sponsor won the Champion
Award at Out & Equal in 2013.
Thanks to the success of the Ally Program, LGBT Pride has substantially increased the number of
members and reached a larger population across the bank’s regions. Many chapters have hosted popular
Ally events, creating new connections for LGBT members and other bank associates. Other organizaitons
have taken notice: Disney, Apple and Wal-mart are just a few of the corporations that have reached out
to LGBT Pride to learn how to start similar programs.

Bank of America generously helped fund “Supporting and Caring for our Latino LGBT Youth,” a
comprehensive study by the Human Rights Campaign, in partnership with the League of United Latin
American Citizens. The report looks at the results of HRC’s first-of-its-kind survey of 10,000+ LGBTidentified youth ages 13 to 17.
LGBT Pride launched the LGBT Diversity Training & Panel, created in conjunction with Out & Equal. More
than 1,800 associates participated in the initial 18 sessions. Bank of America continued its association
with Out on the Street, a consortium of companies — most of them major banks — working to foster
workplace equality. The bank was an active participant in both the second New York summit and in the
first Asian summit, held in Singapore.

New Mission Statement
The Multicultural Leadership Network is a platform for celebrating ethnic diversity and the varied cultural
backgrounds of employees based in the EMEA region. The MLN reflects the global nature of Bank of
America Merrill Lynch, using employees’ cultural differences as a source of opportunity and strength
while maintaining a focus on professional development and business strategy. The MLN seeks to provide
opportunities to associates from all lines of business to network with senior business leaders through its
social, cultural and business-related events throughout the year.
Activities
Self-Assessment
In the fall of 2013, MLN’s leaders and executive sponsors took the time to revisit the organization’s
mission statement, and reworked it to make it more inclusive. MLN, which is based in Europe, previously
described its focus as “ethnic and cultural minority employees and their colleagues/allies.” The new
statement makes it clear that MLN is open to all and is focused on celebrating the differences that exist
in the bank’s community.
The self-assessment also led to a restructuring of the network that better defined the various areas of
responsibility, and the launching of a revamped quarterly newsletter that has received great response for
its professional look and engaging content.
“Doing Business In”
Each year, MLN hosts a series that focuses on the bank’s business in a different country or region. This
past November, the focus was on China, and MLN organized events such as a panel of senior leaders
sharing insight and experiences about doing business in China and the bank’s strategy for that booming
market. The panel included a Q&A and was followed by a networking session for attendees and panel
members. In 2014, the series will shift its focus to Africa.
Partnership
In 2013, MLN formed a partnership with the Eastside Young Leaders Academy, a London-based
supplementary school dedicated to helping African and Caribbean children become the next generation of
leaders. EYLA targets children who struggle in the school system for a variety of reasons and provides
them with mentoring, support and education.
MLN is collaborating with EYLA in a number of ways. In February, MLN brought in a group of 13-year-olds
— an age group identified as at high risk of beginning to neglect their education — to meet associates of
different backgrounds and from different lines of business. The students even had the opportunity to
meet Alex Wilmot-Sitwell, Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s president for EMEA.
MLN members volunteer for after-school and weekend events, where they mentor students and
sometimes teach them about financial literacy. MLN is planning future activities with EYLA, such as
bringing groups of students to art exhibits and live performances sponsored by Bank of America. MLN is
also organizing equipment drives, working with the bank’s environmental group to donate older
computers and other items to the Academy.
Flagship Event
In May, MLN held its major annual event, a dinner with multi-cultural leaders in the bank, hosted by the
network’s executive sponsors, Fabrizio Gallo and Sajid Hussein. The dinner, which was the closing event
for Europe’s Diversity & Inclusion Month, had over 150 employees in attendance, representing all lines of
business, various levels of experience, and different backgrounds. The associates had the opportunity to
meet colleagues outside their own line of business, as well as the chance to interact with some of the
bank’s senior leaders from different areas. Guest speakers addressed how to leverage diversity and

The Military Support & Assistance Group (MSAG) supports enterprise-wide efforts to attract, effectively
integrate, retain and develop military employees, veterans, family members and friends. MSAG supports
veteran-focused activities, community involvement and the maximizing of veteran contributions that
complement Bank of America’s growth objectives. Bank of America has provided specialized services to
military personnel since 1920 through our Military Veteran Staffing Initiative, our transition assistance
partnership with the Veterans Administration in more than 110 banking centers worldwide, and militaryfocused support groups and philanthropic organizations nationwide.

Mission
EMEA Executive Sponsor
To support efforts to attract, integrate, retain and develop military veterans and help maximize veteran
contributions that complement Bank of America’s growth objectives. MSAG chapters serve as a network
for veterans and members of their families, active duty and reserve military personnel, and interested
employees to work together on issues of common interest and support those affected by service in the
armed forces.
Activities
Freedom Award
Bank of America has made a strong commitment to hire and support veterans and National Guard and
Reserve members, and also supports the nation’s military through philanthropic efforts. To bring this
commitment to life, the Military Support & Assistance Group works closely with the Military Affairs, an
internal team established in 2012 that coordinates programs across the bank focused on coordinating
internal and external military efforts. Thanks to the joint efforts of these two organizations, Bank of
America won the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award for its support of
employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.

Recruiting
MSAG plays a key role in recruiting military employees to the bank. MSAG members volunteered at 170
recruiting events last year across the country, contributing to the bank’s hiring of 2000 veterans and
Guard and Reserve members — part of the bank’s commitment to hire 10,000 military members over the
next several years. In May 2014, MSAG launched a microsite to provide career information to veterans
and Guard and Reserve members outside of the bank. The site highlights everything the bank does to
support its military employees, as well as its volunteer activities, job opportunities and recruiting efforts.
Retention
While recruiting is an important aspect of its work, MSAG’s real focus is on retention. “We set up
networking and mentoring opportunities to support the veterans and the Guard and Reserve members,”
says Dayton Warfle, MSAG Enterprise Leader. “We also sponsor programs that support our Guard and
Reserve members; when they deploy, they would typically go on leave of absence and get disconnected
from the bank. We keep them connected to the bank, and we also support their families as well, helping
them with any issues that come up.”
Through the spouse transition program, MSAG provides associates with job transition assistance when
their active-duty spouses are assigned to a new location.
MSAG started a pro bono legal support program in New York last year, with the bank’s legal department
generously donating its time to support veterans and Guard and Reserve members. The program has
been expanded to Charlotte and the West Coast.
Grant Partner: Fisher House
MSAG partnered with Fisher House for the second year. Fisher House provides housing for military
families so they can be near those who are receiving treatment at military medical centers. At least nine
MSAG chapters are involved with local Fisher Houses across the country — a strong level of participation
that meant additional grant money from the Foundation on Military Affairs. MSAG volunteers prepare

Activities
Chapter Events
While NAPN is technically a virtual network, over the past year, several “de facto” local chapters have
achieved critical mass and have hosted well-received events, some in partnership with other employee
networks.
U.S.
napn@bankofamerica.com
In partnership with the New York chapter of LEAD for Women, the Northeast chapter of NAPN hosted a
screening of “The Cherokee Word for Water,” a film depicting the story of Wilma Mankiller (1945-2010),
the former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Chief Mankiller was the first modern female chief of
the Cherokee Nation, the second-largest tribe in the U.S., and she is the recipient of numerous awards,
including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and honorary degrees from Dartmouth and Yale. The film
was introduced by a guest panel including Charlie Soap, Wilma’s husband and the film’s director; Kristina
Kiehl, producer and founder, Voters for Choice; and Kimberly Norris Guerrero, the film’s lead actor. Paul
Critchlow, vice chairman, Public Markets, chaired the panel.
As part of Native American Heritage Month, the Southeast chapter of NAPN hosted a Native American
dance troop in Founders Hall in partnership with several organizations. This was the first-ever Native
American event in a highly visible space in our Charlotte headquarters building.
With the Phoenix chapter of MSAG, the Southwest chapter co-hosted an event commemorating Ira
Hayes, a Pima tribal member and Marine corporal who was one of the six enlisted men in the iconic
photo of the flag-raising at Iwo Jima. The event was quite successful, and MSAG and NAPN are planning
to work together again on future events — a natural partnership, in many ways. Many Tribes have a
tradition of a warrior culture and honor members of the military and veterans from their communities,
and Native Americans are typically very highly represented in the military on a per capita basis.
Grant Partner: U.N.I.T.Y.
For four years, Bank of America has partnered with UNITY (United National Indian Tribal Youth), the
largest Native American youth organization, with over 140 youth councils in 35 states and Canada.
UNITY’s mission is “to foster the spiritual, mental, physical and social development of Native American
and Alaskan Native youth, and to help build a strong, unified and self-reliant Native America through
involvement of its youth.” NAPN associates provide financial education workshops and share financial
literacy materials at UNITY chapter meetings and at the annual national meeting, which in 2014 was held
in Portland, Oregon, with 1500 Native American youth in attendance.

The Parents & Caregivers Network provides employees with support or advice on a wide range of focus
areas: adoption, single-parenting, tweens & teens, special needs children and family members, elder care,
work/life balance, stress management and more. The network helps employees learn about available
benefits and resources within the bank and can also connect employees with external help when
necessary.
Parenting Mentor Program
PCN launched the Parenting Mentor Program in 2014. The program matches new or expecting parents
with those who have had children within the past two years and is designed to aid employees’ transition
into parenthood and their return to Bank of America after a parental leave. Mentors and mentees meet
four times over nine months — ideally both before and after the parental leave — to address questions
around the logistics of going on leave and then transitioning back to work, as well as topics such as
balancing work/life, stress management, single-parenting and adoption.
Partnering with Global HR
At least twice a year, PCN meets with GHR to get a preview of new benefits that the bank is rolling out
and to pilot the communications around those benefits. Most recently, PCN helped pilot and launch the
communications around the bank’s new Elder Backup Care benefits and the Life Event Services benefits,
and is currently piloting the communications for the bank’s new benefits around autism, set to launch in
January 2015.
Other Events
PCN hosts regular virtual workshops on topics relevant to parents and other caregivers. Recent PCN
seminars covered subjects such as how to protect your child from bullying, information on adoption, and
how to develop and maintain work/life balance.
PCN leaders field a lot of one-on-one questions from caregivers. For example, when an employee’s child
was diagnosed with autism, the parent had questions around a specific therapy. PCN leadership sent out
a confidential email to membership, and within minutes had several responses from members willing to
share their knowledge.
PCN Thanks
Directoryto these types of activities, PCN’s membership has significantly increased since the end of 2013
from under 200 to over 700. This growth has happened in a variety of markets, including California,
Delaware, North Carolina, and Florida.

of activities - including sports, fitness, music, arts and languages - to come together and create or revive
activity groups under the official banner of Bank of America.

to continue the activities of the internal Flagmasters Club, with the goal of creating a training platform
to help employees who want to develop their communication and leadership skills.
