BANK OF AMERICA
JULIUS BALLROOM | AUGUST 6, 2024 | 1:45PM-2:45PM
ALPFA is honored to welcome Tom Scrivener, Chief Operations Executive for Bank of America, as he shares his remarkable journey to the C-suite. Tom’s climb to success has been anything but smooth; his path was marked by significant roadblocks, unexpected challenges, and career-altering decisions. One pivotal moment in Tom’s career came during a period of industry change where his salary was cut, his office was replaced by a cubicle, and his role was essentially demoted. Faced with the choice of leaving the company or advocating for his values, Tom chose the latter. This decision ultimately positioned him as one of the few who could effectively communicate complex foundational knowledge to leadership. Tom, who candidly admits to being bad at networking, exemplifies how your launching pad can be found at any stage of your career—whether in college or what seems like the end of your professional journey. His story underscores the importance of community engagement, maintaining a positive mental health space, and believing in the unique power YOU bring to every room entered. Our ordinary experiences can become the spark for extraordinary paths fueled by drive and resilience. Let Tom’s real-time example illuminate the potential within your own challenges and setbacks. We invite you to be motivated by him and to understand that even the most unordinary journey can be transformed into one of the greatest opportunities for success.

When it comes to mental health, the Hispanic & Latinx communities can be very private and timid to speak publicly about challenges at home or in day to day life. Mental health is often a stigmatized topic resulting in unnecessary and prolonged suffering in silence. We are often advised to “build a board of directors” from our community for professional progress, but it doesn’t need to stop there. Each day there are new ways of searching for services that support our emotional health. From cost effectiveness, and virtual opportunities, paired with flexibility and easy accessibility, tech is on our side. Leveraging new age technology we aim to increase our overall Mental Wellbeing. Our board of directors and become a system of support that is dedicated to full body wellness and professional advancement. With the help of Artificial Intelligence or the use of mobile applications to meet your health care principles, technology is providing new ways to inform, monitor, educate, and enable self-help, thus reinventing the silence among mental health care.
