Our DEI&B Team
Paloma Sarkar
First Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management and Strategic Planning
Diversity is more than just differences in races, it is the acceptance of all people despite their experiences and walks of life including gender, race, ability and all things that make us unique human beings. I am a part of this committee because having differences matters and it is only through these differences that we can begin to see changes and other perspectives that will ultimately create a better world.

The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Committee here at Pathfinder Bank is so important because it allows for each of our employees to have equal opportunities to do their best, learn, grow, and feel valued. Our culture of belonging is one that I am proud to be a part of, and I want all of our colleagues to feel that way too.
