In the News
Anthony Bridges (pictured above), Assistant Vice President and Financial Center Leader of Fidelity Bank at 5530 Crowder Blvd., recently received the Fidelity P.O.W.E.R. (Potential of Women Entrepreneurs Realized) Shoe Award.
The shoe is awarded to branches attracting the most P.O.W.E.R. members in a month or the highest number of products (e.g., loans, checking accounts). To date, there are 729 P.O.W.E.R. members across the metro area (including Slidell, Mandeville, Hammond, CBD and the Westbank).
The program encourages powerful women to meet, share experiences and learn from one another, though networking with both seasoned and new members.
“Through the program, women share challenging situations and how to be successful,” said Bridges.
P.O.W.E.R. members can create a profile page at http://www.fidelitybankpower.com/ and members have access to a membership directory, networking events, free checking and access to loans and mortgages.
