Lancaster, Pa. – Savoy Magazine has included Barley Snyder partner Jennifer Craighead Carey on its 2021 Most Influential Black Corporate Directors list.

Craighead Carey was recognized for her work as a member of the board of directors at Lancaster-based Fulton Financial Corp., the parent company of Fulton Bank. The list of more than 700 African-American directors on corporate boards of directors across the country is compiled by the national publication Savoy Magazine, a leading African-American lifestyle magazine focusing on fashion, business, technology and style.

It’s an honor to receive this prominent recognition.”
