Tamika Scales Bowers
Tamika is a true embodiment of “live your best life” and sprinkles her pearls of wisdom along the way, helping to guide others to also live “their” best lives. This resonates with the core of HCG and our desire to expand the pathway towards financial stability & homeownership. Evoking vast knowledge and mentorship, Tamika brings over 30 years of professional corporate experience with Fortune 500 banking institutions in Mortgage Lending and Community Relations across the region. Serving HCG since 2006, she rejoined in July 2021 as the Community Impact Director of HCG’s Leadership Team. Her “next-level” organizational thinking and ideation further enhances HCG’s growth and community impact. Having cultivated strong, diverse professional connections over the years, she is a trusted source for partnership & resource development.
Striving to make us more reachable within the communities we serve, Tamika’s layered expertise provides business & community development, CRA strategy, recruitment, company volunteer engagement, reputational risk, and corporate social impact – all centered around increasing homeownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers and BIPOC populations, while additionally supporting neighborhood revitalization and stabilization in non-majority communities. With the heart of a teacher, she favors her roles that allow her to be a relatable, fun, and engaging leader, “Let’s Go from Good to Great.” You are guaranteed to have a good laugh if she’s on the other end of your phone.
Tamika values time with her fur baby, family, and friends. She also recognizes the value of downtime, exploring the world solo through cultural experiences, frequent “me-cations,” and finds solace in a “table for one.”
