Power of Connection is an event shines a light on Mercy Connections’ unwavering devotion to its mission, celebrating the boundless strength and collective power of a community united in purpose.
Heidi Stumpff, M&T Bank Regional President of Vermont, will be honored with the Catherine McAuley Community Award.
Each year, the Mercy Connections' Board of Directors selects a person who exemplifies community leadership and service in the example of Catherine McAuley, a 19th century leader dedicated to social justice.
Stumpff’s career spans 24 years in the banking industry. Her role at M&T Bank oversees all aspects of its operations in Vermont, including strategic planning, business development, commercial banking, community markets, and community engagement.
Stumpff is a previous member of the Mercy Connections Board of Directors and continues to serve on a handful of nonprofit boards in the community. Stumpff and the M&T team have also volunteered at Mercy Connections’ community lunch, held every Thursday at 12 pm for registered participants, to assist with preparing the food, serving the meal and eating together in the spirit of connection.
