Robert M. Williams<br />
Vice President, KeyBank<br />
After growing up in the Seattle area,<br />
Robert Williams decided that he needed<br />
some time away from the city. With the<br />
allure <strong>of</strong> a track and field scholarship and<br />
an academic scholarship from Bank <strong>of</strong><br />
America, he made the move to Washington<br />
State University intending to major in<br />
business. While at WSU, Williams balanced<br />
athletics and academics, receiving his<br />
bachelor’s degree in finance (’79), and<br />
earning a varsity letter each <strong>of</strong> his four years<br />
in Pullman. He competed in a number <strong>of</strong><br />
track events, even holding a school record<br />
in the long jump for almost a decade.<br />
With more than 25 years <strong>of</strong> experience in<br />
financial services, Williams has served as the<br />
vice president <strong>of</strong> community development<br />
banking at KeyBank since January 2005. He<br />
is responsible for administering the internal<br />
and external community reinvestment<br />
activities for KeyBank in Washington.<br />
It is this interest in the betterment <strong>of</strong><br />
community that has motivated Williams<br />
to serve on the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong><br />
National Board <strong>of</strong> Advisors. “Though higher<br />
education is <strong>of</strong>ten considered a luxury, I feel<br />
it is a necessity. The more readily available<br />
higher education becomes, the better our<br />
community will be.”<br />
Williams takes special interest in the<br />
enrollment and graduation rates <strong>of</strong><br />
minorities. “It is important to attract<br />
students and faculty more representative <strong>of</strong><br />
the population that we serve.” In an effort<br />
to do so, Williams is currently working with<br />
the CB on a KeyBank proposal to enhance<br />
diversity in WSU’s student body and future<br />
business leaders.<br />
Williams resides in Seattle and enjoys<br />
traveling, golf, and working out in his free<br />
time.<br />
