Hamden resident among Citizens’ honorees

Hamden resident Lori Carotenuto is among 91 Citizens Bank employees being recognized for 25 years of service with the bank, each getting a specially inscribed brick to be installed outside Citizens’ headquarters in Providence, R.I., according to a release.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the traditional Brick

Ceremony could not be held in person this year, the release said, so honorees attended a virtual celebration hosted by Bruce Van Saun and members of the Executive Committee.

The ceremony was part of the bank’s Credo Week, “a special time each year when the bank celebrates its colleagues – as well

as its customers, communities and shareholders,” the release said. “It’s an opportunity to recognize the dedicated workforce that helped Citizens grow into a leading financial institution.”

“Credo Week ... provides an opportunity for the bank to engage, inspire and appreciate the meaningful impact its employees

deliver to their customers and communities,” the release said. “The current environment called for the week to be recognized with additional flexibility and creativity, with alternative ways to participate that included virtual activities such as a talent show, photo booth, scavenger hunt and more.”
