The American Bankers Association today announced the recipients of its inaugural ABA Emerging Leader Awards. These new awards recognize the next generation of bank leaders who are committed to the highest standards of achievement and service to both their industry and their local communities.
“We congratulate these high performers who have already begun to have a significant impact on our industry,” said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. “These ABA Emerging Leader Award recipients have demonstrated a range of banking skills, a commitment to conduct their work with integrity and a strong desire to help their customers and communities flourish. The future of our industry is bright because of leaders like these.”
The winners were selected by a diverse steering committee of industry professionals. The qualities and characteristics the committee evaluated as judging criteria included dedication to the profession, inventiveness, leadership skills, mentoring ability, personal integrity, tenure at the bank and broader commitment to a career in banking, sustained career progress, and academic training including advanced degrees and certificates/certifications.
The winners will be recognized during the upcoming ABA Annual Convention in October. Learn more about each member of ABA’s Class of 2022:
