DALLAS—Alfreda Norman has joined the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as Community Affairs Officer.

Most recently, she held a management position at The Container Store corporate headquarters in Dallas. She has participated in numerous professional and community organizations, including Dallas Affordable Housing Coalition and Dallas Credit Coalition.
Prior to joining Bank of America, Norman was a supervisor in the Office of Cultural Affairs for the city of Dallas.
