To mark our 80th Anniversary, we launched the Careers in Banking Program. As part of this program, our branch managers will be available to visit school classrooms around the state to make presentations about banking, career opportunities in the banking industry, and the importance of managing money.

We are also offering branch and banking department tours to give students a first-hand, behind-the-scenes look into the different operations within a bank — from our bank tellers to our administration.
