We are proud to announce that our bank has been recognized as part of the first-ever class of FAME Award recipients by the Missouri Bankers Association (MBA) at its Executive Management Conference in St. Louis. This prestigious honor highlights our commitment to advocacy, engagement, and leadership within Missouri’s banking industry.
What is the FAME Award?
FAME stands for Fostering Advocacy & Meaningful Engagement, and it represents the highest honor bestowed by the Missouri Bankers Association. The award celebrates outstanding advocacy efforts by MBA member banks that go above and beyond to strengthen the voice of banking in Missouri.
To qualify for the FAME Award, banks must complete five out of seven key advocacy actions during the year. These actions demonstrate a strong commitment to policy engagement, community involvement, and industry leadership—all essential to advancing the banking profession and supporting Missouri communities.
This year, MBA honored 31 banks with the FAME Award, and we are thrilled to stand among these exceptional institutions. Being part of this inaugural class underscores our dedication to advocacy, customer-focused service, and building meaningful relationships that make a difference.
We extend our gratitude to the Missouri Bankers Association for this recognition and to our incredible team for their hard work and passion. Together, we will continue to champion initiatives that strengthen our industry and the communities we serve.
