Women in Banking Conference Attendee
“It’s rare, in our industry, that you have a group full of women together to network and grow our careers – you can’t help but feel empowered in that room and when you leave.”
VBA Leadership Conference Attendee
“The VBA is very passionate about the next generation of leaders in Virginia banks. It is refreshing to have an organization that prides itself on taking such an interest in so many future leaders.”
VBA Leadership Conference Attendee
“Every time I leave a VBA event, I am excited to come back to work and share what I’ve learned. Even if my bank can’t send me in the future, I see it as something I would pay for because it would be an investment in myself. I’m hoping next year others can attend as well.”
Back to School at the VBA Attendee
“This was a really great program with lots of good ideas on how to engage students of all ages. Love the teamwork and the different ways information was given to us made it more entertaining!”
Emily Carder, 2020 VBA Bank Day Scholarship Program Statewide Winner
“My interactions with the bank are but one thread woven into the vast network of bank functions. Not merely a facility for lending and borrowing, banks are a hub for community growth. With small-business-friendly policies and generous lending programs, banks provide the stepping-stones for anyone to build their own financial success.”
