-: Banking can be a lot of numbers and rules
and regulations but one thing that I've learned
over time is that there's always room
for compassion and I believe
that is what will set you apart from your competitors
and really make a difference in your community.
-: We have a very unique and tremendous opportunity
to ensure economic vitality
in the communities that we serve.
My passion lies in making sure that that message
is informing the work that we do as I move through my day
and as I've moved through my career.
-: An emerging leader to me is someone that leads by example,
inspires others, and encourages success
for all of those around them.
-: Be yourself and really raise your hand
to do whatever it is that you're being called on to do.
Say yes and give it all you got.
-: Caring for the most vulnerable members
of the community, shining a guiding light
of kindness and compassion for all people,
these are the qualities of an emerging leader.
-: Make sure it never becomes about transactions
but it becomes about relationships.
Understanding that you're impacting a person's life.
Put yourself in that person's position but to help them
to get to where they need to be
or where they're trying to go.
-: We have the privilege of helping people
achieve their dreams.
And to me, there's just no better career to protect,
preserve, and propel our communities than being a banker.
-: An emerging leader is someone that is supportive
in nature to those around them.
They're encouraging of others. They foster innovation.
And they support differences of opinions and perspectives.
-: We have the opportunity to shape the future
of the banking industry, not only through the actions
of ourselves but through our commitment to developing
the next generation of banking leaders.
-: I began in the banking industry as a summer intern.
Over 24 years and several roles later,
I still enjoy serving our clients,
communities, and other stakeholders.
It's rewarding to know that with those clients, communities,
and stakeholders, we're part of something bigger.
-: I've always wanted to be a banker
since I was a little girl.
I grew up with my grandfather being in banking
and I saw what he did to make a difference
in our community and to change people's lives.
And I was just inspired to do the same thing.
-: I've had the opportunity to meet with young bankers
from all over the United States and I can say one thing
with complete certainty and that is the future
of this industry is in the hands
of some very bright young bank leaders.
And I for one am very excited to be a part
of that group and also very excited
to see where we take the industry from here.
