“Graduating from GSBC is a significant accomplishment, but its greatest value is what comes next,” said GSBC President and CEO Michael Stevens. “Our graduates return home better equipped to lead, serve their customers and strengthen their communities.” Beyond the classroom, students build relationships with banking professionals representing institutions of different sizes, markets and business models. Those connections form a nationwide peer network that continues to provide perspective, collaboration and support long after graduation. As Brad returns to Mid America Bank, graduation marks not only the completion of a rigorous graduate banking education, but also the beginning of an opportunity to put that experience to work for his institution, customers and community. Brad was one of only 18 students in his class to graduate with honors. This outstanding achievement is a testament to his hard work and dedication and is worthy of celebration. “Graduating from the Graduate School of Banking with honors is a remarkable achievement that reflects Brad’s dedication to continuous learning and professional growth. We are incredibly proud of him and confident that the knowledge and leadership skills he continues to develop will enable him to make an even greater impact for our clients, our communities and our organization,” said Steve Linton, CEO of Mid America Bank. Enrollment for GSBC’s 76th Annual School Session opens this fall. Banking professionals interested in beginning their own GSBC journey can join the Priority Enrollment List at gsbcolorado.org.
