2005 Summary Annual Report: How We Grow: Investing in Our Communities

Bank of America’s transaction processing center in Tempe, AZ, regularly hires temporary employees from the Marc Center, a nonprofit organization that helps people with disabilities find meaningful work.

Trainees from the Marc Center assist with the monthly preparation of more than 1.7 million statements, gaining practical experience. These individuals inspire our Tempe-based check processing associates every day by proving that anyone can overcome a challenge and be successful in a company that values merit.
