VBA Announces Graduates of the Virginia Bankers School of Bank Management
Forty-four Virginia bankers graduated on July 29, 2022 from the Virginia Bankers School of Bank Management in Charlottesville. The three-year school is sponsored by the Virginia Bankers Association.
Bruce Whitehurst, VBA President and CEO commented about this year’s graduating class, “We are proud of the forty-four bankers who graduated this year. These students have developed a range of skills that will enhance their current performance, and qualify them as potential candidates for advancement within their institutions. The connections they have made with other students – even after a fully virtual program in 2020 – will benefit them both personally and professionally for years to come.”
2022 Class President Beth Shivak, Atlantic Union Bank, said, “I congratulate my fellow classmates for seeing the challenges of the last three years as an opportunity to grow not only our educational development, but also as a community of bankers. Through our experience at the Virginia Bankers School of Bank Management, we also now understand that we can truly never stop learning; and one of the things that I have learned from this inspiring group of people is that challenges are simply opportunities for growth and for that I am forever grateful.”
Through the use of highly qualified instructors and a challenging curriculum, the Virginia Bankers School of Bank Management is designed to provide a multidimensional banking educational experience. Graduates complete three one-week summer sessions, eight home study problems and participate in a BankExec simulation, which allows them the opportunity to make decisions acting as senior officers of a bank. Graduates broaden their knowledge in all respects of banking, economics, and related subjects.
