We are so fortunate to have Rachel A Clarkson on our board of directors and as our Treasurer! Thank you, Rachel for all that you do.Our #iamtompkins series continues!

Meet Rachel Clarkson, Corporate Compliance Specialist.

Rachel is responsible for helping the various departments of the bank stay in compliance with Federal Banking Regulations.

We asked Rachel some questions!

Why Tompkins as an employee?

Rachel: I started with Tompkins in January of 2000. It has been a great company to work for. They help you keep learning. I just recently passed my CRCM exam!

Why Tompkins as a community member?

Rachel: Tompkins encourages giving back to the community. I am the Treasurer of Foodnet Meals on Wheels, on the Vestry of St John’s Episcopal Church (where I help with Laundry Love, our program to provide free laundry to those in need), and I volunteer with Rock Steady Boxing (an awesome boxing program for people with Parkinson’s).

Tell us more!

Rachel: I also study Karate at Cayuga Lake Seido Karate. I am an advanced yellow belt and enjoy how much the dojo gives back to the community. I participate in our Annual Punch and Kick-a-thon to raise money for Hospicare and Cancer Resource Center and this summer we helped pack food at the Lansing Food Pantry to help over 90 families in the Lansing community.

Wow! Thank you Rachel for everything you do for our community. We are so lucky to have you as an employee.
