Hodges has worked in banking for nearly four decades. Leading M&T Bank’s greater Washington, D.C., and Virginia regions since 2018, she manages teams across more than 55 branches.
A Virginia Tech graduate, Hodges grew up in Rocky Mount, where her parents ran a construction supplies store. In 2009, M&T Bank acquired Provident Bank, where Hodges was managing director. She later rose to market president for Central and Southern Virginia for New York-based M&T, which operates in 13 states and had assets of $208.3 billion as of April.
Hodges’ term on the board for the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Baltimore branch ends this year. She also serves on the Greater Washington Board of Trade’s executive committee and on the boards for the United Way of Virginia and the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
