​Better Invest in the Future Careers of Their Team Members!

During these ongoing challenging business conditions brought on by COVID-19, the PACB Foundation Board of Directors is making scholarships available to PACB community bank members for the purchase of Association-sponsored virtual and classroom educational and professional development programs.

Scholarships were created to:

• Increase the use and awareness of PACB’s expansive educational offerings and allow member banks to expand the professional development of their teams;
• Provide additional opportunities to introduce new bankers to PACB educational offerings in order to improve engagement and support for community banking issues;

• Offer ongoing support of PACB education designed to engage the next generation of community bank leaders, which gives banks an opportunity to retain, grow and develop talent.
