Melissa Wright is the incoming board president of Tallahassee’s Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center, known as STAC. It serves victims of human trafficking. Wright is also a banker – with a unique perspective on what trafficking looks like and how to stop it.
Wright says STAC did one of its trainings with the front-line staff at Capital City Bank, where she works, teaching them how to identify a person who’s being trafficked. Soon afterward, one of the tellers noticed something.
