Everett team members Rena Ramsey, Sam Harris, and Lisa Mead were excited to attend the 2021 Ole Miss Banking and Finance Symposium. The event at the Oxford Convention Center provided community bankers in the southeast with insight on the current state of community banking and regulations, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing the banking industry with the rise of fintechs. Engaging speakers, including the head of the Independent Community Bankers Association, Rebeca Romero Rainey, were on hand to share their knowledge, and a Women’s Breakfast provided the opportunity to see and meet several friends. The ability to attend this event in person was a welcome change after the past 20 months!
