Women in Banking

The Women In Banking Affinity Group offers programming specific to women bankers, and a forum for effective career networking. Some of the issues addressed are:

How did you determine your career path?
Was Commercial Lending your goal or did you just happen upon it?
If you did pursue it, did you feel you had to break through the glass ceiling?
What tips or suggestions would you give other women entering commercial lending?

If you are interested in learning more about the Women in Banking Affinity Group or if you would like to volunteer as a WIB Committee Member, please contact:
