Our third annual 40 Under 40: Emerging Community Bank Leaders competition highlights young community bankers who stepped up to help their banks navigate a chaotic year. They delivered economic relief. They introduced new technology. They kept their communities close when they had to be distanced. Most importantly, they found opportunities to lead when their banks and their customers most needed them. Meet our 2021 winners and see how they champion community banking across various categories.
