Joan Cronin of Seekonk Receives Citizens Bank Colleague Choice Community Award

March 4, 2015 – Rhode Island resident Joan Cronin has been recognized by Citizens Bank as one of its Colleague Choice Community Awards recipients, a program that provides donations to vital nonprofit organizations serving the local community.

As part of the award, Citizens Bank will contribute $500 to the San Miguel School in Providence, where Cronin mentors several students.

Cronin was one of 20 colleagues recognized as a Colleague Choice Community Awards winner during the bank’s Credo Celebration, an eight day-long celebration of Citizens Bank colleagues, customers and communities. Credo Celebration was filled with activities, including food drives, community activities, recognition and more.

“It is a privilege to honor Joan as one of our Colleague Choice Community Awards recipients, particularly given her efforts on behalf of the San Miguel School, a wonderful community partner,” said Marc Paulhus, Citizens Bank, Rhode Island president. “Credo Celebration is an opportunity to honor some of Rhode Island’s finest volunteer organizations, and the individuals who contribute countless hours to them. We are delighted to have Joan as a colleague, as her work reflects Citizens’ collaborative spirit.”

Colleagues submitted nonprofits for Colleague Choice Community Awards consideration with the 20 finalists selected by Citizens Bank colleagues.

The San Miguel School of Providence is a private, independent Lasallian middle school for urban boys from the Greater Providence area.
