Bank of America executive Tom Scrivener joins Board of Trustees 

Tom Scrivener, chief operations executive for Bank of America, will join UNC Charlotte’s Board of Trustees. The UNC Board of Governors appointed Scrivener to the seat during its Nov. 14 meeting. 

“Tom Scrivener brings a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience that will significantly enhance UNC Charlotte’s Board of Trustees,” said Chancellor Sharon L. Gaber. “We are excited he has agreed to join our board.”

Scrivener will participate in his first UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees meeting Dec. 4.

Bank of America has been a strong ally of UNC Charlotte for decades, which includes its volunteer leadership on the Board of Trustees, support for endowed professorships and support of educational programs in security analytics, as well as being a valuable research partner. Recognizing the University’s pipeline of talent, Bank of America has many employees who are alumni of UNC Charlotte.

Most recently, Bank of America invested in UNC Charlotte’s Community Innovation Incubator to create community-driven solutions and enhance community impact. Recent investments have helped expand the University Transition Opportunities Program, UTOP, which supports incoming students as they transition to UNC Charlotte.

Scrivener’s appointment continues a long-standing engagement of executive leadership on the Board of Trustees that began with Addison Reese, chair of Bank of America’s predecessor, American Commercial Bank, and continued with Tom Storrs, Hugh McColl, Joe Price, Cathy Bessant and Christine Katziff.

“It is an honor to be joining the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees,” Scrivener said. “The University is a strong public institution that provides students a practical education, which is important to our community and region.”
