In addition to the recognition, Regions donates $1,000 in the name of
the recipient to a nonprofit organization of the winner’s choice.
Germany chose the A.G. Gaston Boys and Girls Club (AGBGC), a program
that serves 1,200 Birmingham children yearly through nutritional,
academic, arts and athletic activities. Germany is a member of the
club’s board. A
video of Germany is available on the Regions
Financial YouTube channel.
Germany helps municipalities, large nonprofits, schools and universities
across Alabama and the Florida panhandle fund expansions, upgrade
facilities and services and complete other projects. His customers feel
he takes on their ventures as his own.
“David knows the community and is always looking out for its needs. In
his role at the bank, he helps fill those needs,” said Wendi Boyen,
Regions’ Government and Institutional Banking Executive for the
company’s South region. “He thinks through everything and has a plan
that inevitably brings about the most successful outcome.”
Those outcomes have included increased enrollment at a local private
school, the expansion of a business school at a local university and
advancements in health care and well-being for many citizens in the area.
“I love that the work I do has an impact on the community, helping
educational institutions, parks, hospitals for children,” Germany said.
“I’ve been very blessed that I’m supporting organizations that are doing
great work, and I get to be a part of it.”
Germany is currently leading efforts to build a multipurpose playing
court for the AGBGC and helped found Impact Alabama, an agency that
provides free vision screenings to children as well as college
preparation and tax preparation. He is a board member for the UAB School
of Management and the Birmingham Business Alliance and the City of
Birmingham’s Young Professionals program. He is also a United Way of
Central Alabama Young Business Leader and a fundraiser for the American
Heart Association.
“I believe that work that is done for others is a key ingredient for
fulfillment in life,” Germany said.
