PCSB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PCSB), parent
of PCSB Bank (the "Bank"), announced that Michelle A. Nicholas has
joined the Bank as Senior Vice President, Chief Diversity Officer
and Director of Community Development. In this newly created
position, Ms. Nicholas will be responsible for shaping the Bank’s
diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategy, as well as building
relationships with key leaders, communities and organizations
throughout its lower Hudson Valley footprint.
Ms. Nicholas brings a remarkable range of talent to her new
role, with senior-level experience in the corporate, nonprofit and
government sectors. Her commitment to DEI initiatives is a hallmark
of her nonprofit leadership, which spans Westchester County to her
native Guyana.
“Having Michelle A. Nicholas join our team is an exciting
opportunity to further elevate our commitment to diversity, equity,
inclusion and access,” said Joseph D. Roberto, Chairman, President
& CEO, PCSB Bank. “Her unparalleled dedication to community
outreach will enable us to build on our core mission of offering
the highest level of service to our customers as caring neighbors
and business partners.”
Michelle A. Nicholas commented, “I look forward to reaching out
to people across all our communities to raise awareness that at
PCSB Bank diversity is not on the sidelines—it is a priority. We
want everyone to know that we are not only listening; we hear
you.”
She added, “With my background in community service, I truly
understand the importance of community banking. Knowing that the
banker you’re meeting with understands your neighborhood, your
family and your concerns is paramount. When customers apply for a
mortgage or financial services at PCSB to enable the startup of a
business, they are not just viewed as a set of numbers, they are
seen as whole people with dreams and goals—and treated with the
respect that it brings.”
Prior to joining PCSB Bank, Michelle A. Nicholas served as
Executive Director of Girls Inc. of Westchester County, where her
achievements included increasing areas of service and the
introduction of new programs, raising the organization’s budget by
accessing new multi-year revenue streams in her first year, and in
partnership with her team being recognized nationally and locally
for growth and effective service transitioning in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, she held leadership positions at
Family Services of Westchester, Healthcare Chaplaincy Network,
Samuel Waxman Cancer Research and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. In the
financial sector, her experience includes positions with JPMorgan
Chase Bank and as the Co-chair of Recruitment and Development of
the JPMorgan Employee Diversity group for African American
Professionals - Ujima. She holds degrees in economics and social
work from the University of Guyana as well as certifications in
project management and diplomatic practices.
In addition to volunteering with many Westchester organizations,
Ms. Nicholas is the founder and president of Sexual Assault and
Family Education (SAFE) Guyana Inc., a human services nonprofit.
She has been recognized as one of Westchester Magazine’s 12 Black
Leaders Changing Westchester, Business Council of Westchester’s 40
Under 40 Rising Stars, Face2Face Africa’s 30 Black Stars and
Caribbean Life’s Impact Award recipients.
Her notable commitment to volunteerism as well as her
professional nonprofit roles dovetails with PCSB Bank’s history of
giving back. Building on the Bank’s legacy of philanthropy and
service, the PCSB Bank Community Foundation provides donations to
nonprofit organizations in the region that need financial support.
Ms. Nicholas will collaborate with the PCSB Foundation Board to
help establish a strategic approach to further the Foundation’s
goals, community collaboration and partnerships.
Ms. Nicholas concluded, “Community outreach is not just a job;
it’s my life’s mission. It is very gratifying to be working with a
financial institution that shares this commitment and values the
importance of respect, inclusion and representation.”
