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 />
