Tara Gaidies
Living the Busey promise in her community, Tara Gaidies, VP Treasury Management Executive II, is being recognized as Busey’s Volunteer of the Month.
Tara’s dedication and initiative truly made a difference during the holiday season. Her involvement began through a connection at the El Paso County Contractors Association, where she learned about the Angel Tree cause supporting foster children and underserved youth. Tara quickly embraced the opportunity to make an impact and partnered with local organizations, including Kids Crossing, to bring joy to children in need.Thanks to Tara’s leadership and collaboration with the Colorado Busey team, the results were incredible. Together, they provided Christmas gifts for 20 children and rallied additional client support to reach another 28 children, impacting a total of 48 local kids! Tara’s ability to foster connections and inspire teamwork truly shows the spirit of volunteerism. Her efforts remind us how powerful community partnerships can be in creating meaningful change.
Congratulations, Tara!
