Community Programmer Selection - Tori Ratliff-Ives

Tori Ratliff-Ives - "My greatest passions in life are my wife and daughter and building connections through my work with the Roanoke Diversity Center and the DEI council at Pinnacle Financial Partners.  I’ve worked for Pinnacle for 9 years, have led the DEI council for 2 years and have been a board member with the RDC for 3 years.  My most favorite quote, by Coretta Scott King, is “The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.”
