Several COCC clients have been selected by the Connecticut Bankers Association as this year’s New Leaders in Banking. To qualify, nominees needed to work at a CBA member bank, be an outstanding employee, manager, or business leader, and make a notable impact within their bank and community. Winners were vetted and selected by an independent panel of judges, none of whom are active bankers.
Congratulations to our clients, listed below, who have been honored with this year’s award! They are among 13 individuals chosen for this honor.
