GSBC has been an invaluable capstone to my career in community banking, and has allowed me to appreciate and offer new perspectives to our bank and the communities we serve.

I've always been an advocate of GSBC and given the impact that is has had on my career, I'm excited to expose others to the same impact. I hope that I can utilize my Girl Banker platform and social media presence to tell women in banking all over the country what GSBC can offer them!
GSBC helped me become a better community banker and I look forward to educating others regarding all this school has to offer. The classes are informative, relevant and key to growing in this industry. That being said, by far my favorite part were the relationships I made that will truly last a lifetime.

I’m excited to be a GSBC Alumni Ambassador to let other community bankers, especially in the South, know that GSBC offers the best program based around what we do and how we are challenged as community banks. It’s not just theoretical knowledge, its real-world and current to what your bank may be faced with. I realized the benefits of my education at GSBC as soon as I came back from my first year and it only grew from there. The people I met and the relationships I developed will be with me for the rest of my life. That network of support and shared knowledge from across the county is invaluable.

My time at GSBC continues to benefit me in my work every day. As an alumni ambassador, I hope to serve as a bridge between the regulatory and banking communities and encourage others to engage in the dialogue that makes GSBC so great.
At GSBC, I was able to substantially diversify my knowledge of how the non-lending areas of a bank operate. What I’ve learned through GSBC has definitely accelerated by career, which is why I’m glad to serve as a resource to others that may be evaluating whether GSBC can make a similar impact on their career.
At GSBC, I was able to learn about non-lending areas of the bank with a focus on leadership roles.
