Bay State Savings Bank, with more than $400 million in assets, is the largest bank headquartered in Worcester, and Giampa is its pulse, particularly in how she leverages the bank’s assets and her role for the community.

She serves on the boards for Girls Inc., the McCauley Nazareth Home for Boys in Leicester, the Worcester Historical Museum, the Quinsigamond Community College Foundation Board, and the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce. She coordinates volunteer activities for the bank; teaches financial literacy classes at Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester, the former nonprofit Youth Opportunities Upheld, Inc. and QCC; and has served as a guest speaker for the Worcester Women’s Leadership Conference on Philanthropy and Nichols College in Dudley.

What makes Central Mass. unique? It's easy to have tangible impact. When the Worcester Mounted Police Unit needed money, a bunch of us formed a new nonprofit: Friends of the Mounted Police Unit – Worcester. I serve as the secretary and harnessed the community spirit of Bay State Savings Bank to purchase an additional horse. It is amazing to see our horse patrolling Worcester Common.

Energetic: I can’t sit still. I am physically unable to stop moving unless I am asleep. Drives people crazy.
