In a fluid, ever-changing banking landscape, rife with competition, few things are as valuable as dependability, stability and consistency; traits that describe Charlene. I am incredibly proud to see Charlene assume this critical role within our company and I want to congratulate and thank her for all she does to make AB&T the Gold Standard in community banking.”
