Courtney Merriman, Financial Services Practice Group leader, has been selected to City & State New York’s “Responsible 100” list. The list recognizes “New Yorkers who devote endless hours to serving others” and spotlights “a select group of individuals who exemplify what it means to be socially responsible—whether it’s through community engagement and volunteerism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, ethics and transparency, or philanthropy and charity.”
About what social responsibility means to her, Courtney said:
Social responsibility is playing an active role in your community to make it better now and for generations to come. For me, it means taking the many gifts, opportunities, support, and good fortune that I have been afforded and putting it back into the groups that effectively support the marginalized all around us. I do that through my active participation in the firm’s diversity, equity, and inclusion program and its robust pro bono program. Further, I proudly support Catholic Charities of Onondaga County, United Way of Central New York, Baltimore Woods Nature Center, and the Samaritan Center through board membership, volunteering, and giving.
