“
What Others are Saying About South Carolina Banks
For decades banking executives have provided the backbone for leadership in the nonprofit sector in the Midlands.
These capable men and women have chaired annual campaigns, marshaled volunteer resources for every good cause
and directed significant financial resources to support causes that have improved our lives and made the central S.C.
region a better place to work and live.”
– Mac Bennett, President & CEO, United Way of the Midlands, Columbia
“
Ninety five percent of Francis Marion University's students come from South Carolina. We are so grateful to the young
banking professionals in this state who take who time each year to share their experiences with a new generation of
potential bankers. FMU students have been participating in the Banking Careers 101 program for many years and al
ways find it to be a very rewarding program. Many of the students attending this program each year ultimately go on
to become bankers here in South Carolina.”
– Jan M. Serrano, Professor, Francis Marion University
“
“
Financial literacy is one of my top priorities as a state legislator, and the banks that serve South Carolina have long been
ardent advocates in educating our state’s residents – young and old – in this critical area.”
– Jerry D. Govan, Jr., S.C. House District 95
I am so thankful that an organization such as SCBA exists. It affirms the sense of support for students reminding us how the
community cares about our education and future. For this I am extremely grateful!"
