Jillian Balzano
Community Relations Officer, The Washington Trust Company
Jillian Balzano is a passionate advocate for work that empowers organizations and people to have a positive and lasting impact on the world around them. She’s committed to the same outcome, no matter what it is that she’s doing- and that’s to leave things better than they were when she found them.
Jill serves as the Community Relations Officer at The Washington Trust Company, the nation’s oldest community bank. In her role, she serves as the liaison between the Bank and the communities and the people that they serve throughout their footprint in RI, CT and MA. She manages corporate partnerships with nonprofit organizations, the investments in communities via donations and sponsorships, employee engagement and volunteerism and other impact-driven initiatives that bring the Bank’s core value of Community to life. She’s a creative and passionate storyteller, advocate for people, and believer in mission-driven work.
Outside of the office, she’s an active volunteer at organizations that help both animals and humans, thoroughly enjoys eating her way through Providence, and will be happy to share her thoughts on the latest great craft beer coming out of one of RI’s breweries. Please note: if you challenge her to Harry Potter trivia, you will lose.
