Community Speaker Series Celebrating Black History Month: Honoring Our History, Investing in Our Future.

In 2023, Zions Bank celebrates 150 years in business. Throughout this year, our Zions Community Speaker Series will center around the theme “Honoring Our History, Investing in Our Future.”

In honor of Black History Month, our February speaker series will feature Black pioneers leading in the arts, education, government, business, and entrepreneurship in the communities that we serve. Tune in to listen and learn as each guest shares their story of the history behind their work, their careers, and their communities and how their journeys have paved a path to invest in our future.
