The Distinguished Speakers Committee is delighted to bring you an opportunity to meet Deborah C. Wright, Chairman & CEO of Carver Bancorp, Inc., at a luncheon hosted by Merrill Lynch. Ms. Wright will share with us some of the lessons she’s learned through her experiences as a full-time CEO of Carver Federal Savings Bank (the largest African- and Caribbean-American run bank in the United States), member of multiple public and private Boards, and single mother.

Prior to assuming her current position, Ms. Wright was President & CEO of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation from 1996 to 1999. She previously served as Commissioner of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development under Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani from 1994 to 1996. Prior to that appointment, Ms. Wright was named by Major David N. Dinkins to the New York City Housing Authority Board, which manages New York City’s 189,000 public housing units.

Ms. Wright serves on the boards of Kraft Foods Inc., Time Warner, The Partnership for New York City, The Children’s Defense Fund and Sesame Workshop. She is a member of the Board of Managers of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and served as a member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University. She earned A.B., J.D. and M.B.A. degrees from Harvard University.

The luncheon will be held on the Executive Dining floor of Merrill Lynch’s offices at 250 Vesey Street and will provide an opportunity to network with other FWA and non-member attendees.
