Bedford-Stuyvesant
American’s most convenient bank, TD Bank, let Standing O in on the great news. Up-and-coming borough son Randall Atkinson has been promoted to assistant vice president and store manager of the Bedford-Stuyvesant branch.
Our pal Randall will be responsible for new business development, consumer and business lending, managing personnel, and overseeing the day-to-day operations at the store.
Randall has eight years of retail banking experience and joined the most convenient bank in 2008 as a teller. He later served as a customer service representative and store supervisor before his most recent position as assistant store manager in our neighboring Maspeth, Queens.
Standing O is glad he’s back in the bosom of Brooklyn and wishes him good luck.

Welcome, new members
Standing O is pleased to welcome two new members to the board of directors of Brooklyn College Center for the Performing Arts for the 2015–16 season.
Yvonne Riley-Tepie, president of the board, advised us that Christina Tettonis and Kori Hale joined the board, which already includes Dr. Karen L. Gould, Renee McClure, Courier Life’s very own publisher Cliff Luster, Joshua Schneps, Dr. Maria Ann Conelli, Mannie Corman, Gail Hammerman, Rabbi Alvin Kass, Matthew Ormsbee, Ty Stone-Adams, Ella Friedman Weiss, and Antonia Yuille Williams.
Yvonne told the O how happy she is to have these two women aboard: “I am delighted to welcome both Christina and Kori to the Brooklyn Center Board. Each one embodies the spirit of community that Brooklyn Center is known for and brings talent, expertise, and energy to the table. We are fortunate to have them as part of our team as we begin our 61st season.”
Christina was also eager to share her joy at the appointment and said: “As an educator, I know first-hand the positive power that the performing arts have on children and their families as well as on our communities. I am honored to be joining the Brooklyn Center for Performing Arts board.”
Fellow new member Kori added, “Brooklyn Center plays such an important role in serving all of Brooklyn’s many communities with world-class, affordable arts, and arts-education programs. I’m proud to be part of a generation of emerging arts supporters.”

A jolly good employee!
Three cheers and hats off to Dexter Williams who was recognized by Renaissance Adult Day Services as Employee of the Month on Aug. 24! Standing O is running a bit behind.
Along with receiving the monthly distinction, our pal Dexter was also promoted to be the new Transportation Dispatching Coordinator for all three Renaissance Adult Day Services locations.
Eileen Parenti, the executive director and a big fan of Dexter, was happy to share the good news: “Dexter has always gone above and beyond for our clients, and we are pleased to give him this deserving promotion. Renaissance and our clients are fortunate to have him as a part of our team.”
Standing O is happy to bestow on Dexter the golden Standing O too!
The very humble Dexter couldn’t believe all the attention and said, “I think my promotion is a blessing. And what’s more, I am so appreciative to receive the honor of being the Employee of the Month. I’m still overwhelmed that it has all happened!”
Dexter received a plaque and got one free day off. Yippeee!
