The Credit Union Foundation of MD|DC selected SkyPoint to receive a financial grant for Georgetown's Certificate Program. These grants were only available for a limited number of credit unions on their DEI journey. During the three-month program, Prather, received in-depth information and training about DEI as it pertains to all human resources efforts.

"We wanted to do more than just write a Statement of Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion," said Jim Norris, CEO of SkyPoint. "We wanted to see lasting change, and this meant it had to be transformational by having Santita Prather become certified with Georgetown's DEI program. We are proud of her dedication to leading our credit union in DEI."

Prather joined SkyPoint in December 2019 after 22 collective years of experience in the human services and public health fields. Bringing with her a passion for working in the community, joining a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) servicing low-moderate income communities was a natural fit.
