From September to October, 260 bankers and legislators joined us for our series of State Legislative Meetings. With the 2026 General Assembly Session rapidly approaching, this was an important opportunity to engage state policymakers on key banking issues.

Meetings took place in Virginia Beach, Harrisonburg, Richmond, McLean, Lynchburg and Abingdon.

Thank you to all of the bankers who participated in these events. A special thank you to the following bankers who served as emcees for this year’s meetings:

• Victor Branch, Bank of America

• Trent Dudley, Southern Bank and Trust Company
• Dennis Dysart, First Bank, Virginia
• Leton Harding, Powell Valley National Bank
• Sherri Sackett, Select Bank
