Danice Langdon Bio: Danice is the go to person when you have a financial question! She is as passionate about helping people achieve their goals, as she is about the beach, coffee, her son & a good book. Her heartfelt energy comes from growing up in a low -income environment where financial resources and education were limited. She learned a lot of lessons the hard way, but by never giving up & educating herself, she changed her situation & her son never experienced the poverty she did. She wants to share that with you!

Danice became the Director of The Women’s Business Center of CEED in February 2022, after taking advantage of her early retirement from BB&T. She worked with her clients and small business owners to help them achieve their financial goals.

She is passionate about being involved in the community & serves on 2 local boards. Danice Langdon grew up in a small town about 25 miles outside of Pittsburgh. She loves sports and is serious about her Pittsburgh Teams.
