Melinda Done

Melinda is a workplace culture and human capital leader with more than two decades of experience building organizations where people are engaged, supported, and set up to succeed. As Senior Vice President and Director of Human Resources at Accordia Bank, she leads the bank’s culture strategy end to end, from talent management and succession planning to compensation design. She partners closely with executive leadership to translate business objectives into people-first practices because strategy tells us where to go, but culture determines whether or not we get there. She has led the organization through significant growth while keeping culture and employee experience at the center of the transition. Melinda’s approach to culture is shaped by years in the trenches, building programs across the full employee lifecycle and developing a deep, ground-level understanding of what drives engagement, retention, and trust inside an organization. That foundation, paired with her current role, allows her to bring both a human and data-informed lens to culture-building. Based in Utah County, Melinda’s commitment to people extends into her community leadership as Board Chair of The Refuge Utah, where she applies the same principles of people-centered leadership in the communities she serves.
