ADVOCACY

BANKING TESTIMONY & PANELS

My various leadership roles within the financial industry provided me with a platform to articulate and share via testimony industry viewpoints in front of various government agencies and panels. This participation is an important component that formulates the policies that govern the industry. I enjoy this work and I am appreciative of the opportunity to represent my colleagues and peers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BANKING ASSOCIATION CREDENTIALS

I am proud to represent the banking industry as a volunteer banker. Throughout my career, I made it a professional practice to immerse myself in the industries I serve. This practice has led to holding high-level volunteer positions in state and federal trade bank associations and as the CEO.
