Who emerged as champions at this year's Olympic-themed Spirit Celebration?
Our annual Spirit Celebration was held March 27 at 1 Ward Parkway to honor the dedication, hard work and achievements of our commercial lending and consumer banking associates.
The festivities also included a "flag" competition in which each financial center was a “country” and created a flag to represent their particular financial center. Regional presidents judged the flags and selected first-, second- and third-place winners.
Awards were presented in several categories, based on merits and metrics as well as service and excellence during 2023. Congrats to the following award winners:
