We’re proud to celebrate Melissa Juarez, VP Retail Operations Officer/Retail Banking, and William Lisak, Vice President / Enterprise Reporting Officer, for successfully completing the prestigious Texas Tech University School of Banking! Their dedication and hard work have earned them certificates from one of the most respected banking education programs in the region. [bankersdigest.com]
The Texas Tech School of Banking is a two-year, immersive program designed to shape the next generation of community bank leaders. Held at the Rawls College of Business, the program blends academic rigor with real-world application. Year one focuses on:
- Interactive lectures and team activities led by industry experts.
- Hands-on financial analysis, using each participant’s own bank data to assess performance and risk.
- Leadership development, preparing bankers to think beyond their departmental silos. [depts.ttu.edu]
In year two, students manage a virtual community bank through a nationally recognized simulation, applying strategic decision-making skills in a competitive, team-based environment. [depts.ttu.edu]
Melissa and William’s participation reflects their commitment to excellence and growth in the banking industry. We’re excited to see how they’ll bring these insights back to Pioneer Bank and continue to elevate our operations and service.
👏 Please join us in congratulating them on this milestone!
