It's Friday, so you know what that means! We're sharing photos from associates across our footprint who are making an impact in the communities we serve.

In Illinois, we presented the keynote speaker at the YWCA’s Leader Luncheon as a longtime supporter of the organization. Our BEPIC Business Resource Group hosted a fantastic Women’s Empowerment Panel to discuss the importance of empowerment with four inspiring black female leaders. Our inclusion, diversity & associate giving consultant, Angelica DeSimio, also spoke at the St. Teresa's Academy Women's Symposium in Kansas City. Thank you to all our associates who work hard to foster a culture of giving back to our community each and every day! #UMBHeart #LifeatUMB

At UMB, our goal is to hire associates who will stay with us for many years as they grow their careers and gain both niche and broad expertise. And we’re extremely fortunate that we’ve had many who have done just that. The average tenure for a UMB associate is 8.48 years, which is nearly twice the industry average. In fact, some associates have worked at the company for 20, 30, and even 40 years. Here, we highlight associates who share what it is about UMB that has kept them connected to the company and our people.
