Lancaster, Pa. (May 5, 2022) – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Fulton Financial Corporation Chairman and CEO E.

“I’m honored to be a finalist for this prestigious award,” said Wenger. “The work we do at Fulton Financial Corporation is aimed at changing lives for the better and we couldn’t do that without the hard work of each and every team member. Our company’s successes are really their successes.”

Wenger has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fulton Financial Corporation since January 2013 and has been employed by the Corporation in a number of positions since 1979.

Under Wenger’s leadership, Fulton helps vulnerable communities overcome challenges to financial empowerment every day with access to affordable financial products; unique mortgage programs for first-time home buyers; financial literacy curriculums for young people and adults; and training and support for small businesses.

The regional winners will then be considered by the National independent judging panel, and National awards will be presented in November at the Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.
