Congratulations to Tom Edgington, Loan Officer on our Kennett, MO team, for graduating from the prestigious Barret School of Banking program!
The Barret School of Banking is an intensive, multi-year leadership and banking education program designed to strengthen the next generation of banking professionals. Graduates complete advanced coursework focused on banking management, leadership development, lending, finance, strategy and the ever-evolving financial industry.
Completing this program takes dedication, hard work and a true commitment to professional growth. Congratulations, Tom, on this well-deserved achievement!
We would also like to recognize Mike Hobbs, Community Bank President in Dexter, MO, for his outstanding leadership and service to the banking industry. Mike was recently named Chairman of the Barret Graduate School of Banking Board of Regents and had the distinct honor of delivering this year's commencement address to the graduating class.
Having one FM Bank & Trust team member graduate from this highly respected program while another serves as Chairman of its Board of Regents is a testament to the caliber of leadership, expertise and dedication found throughout our organization. We are incredibly proud of both Tom and Mike for representing FM Bank & Trust so well.
