2023–2024 Excellence in Financial Education
Annually, the Wisconsin Banker Foundation recognizes bankers throughout the state for the efforts in educating their communities. The awards, presented at the Wisconsin Bankers Association’s FLEX Retail and Marketing Summit (formerly LEAD360 Conference) each fall, celebrates the passion and commitment these banks and bankers have for carrying out a long-standing industry commitment to improving financial literacy.
