Lindsey May Completes VBA'S Management Devlopment Program
11/07/2024 -Congratulations to Lindsey May on her graduation from the VBA Mangement
Development Program (MDP)! The MDP is a three-month, comprehensive training program designed to help emerging bank leaders understand the industry in which they work and how strategy and goals and imperative to drive the bank forward.
Lindsey stated, "The Management Devlopment Program was a profound experience. The importance of ALCO (Asset Liability Commitee) was one of my favorite sessions, as it highlighted the technical, strategic side of management, but the deeper message around relationships and leadership truly resonated. Meeting people where they are, leaning into the awkward, and striving to be a positive force ('a fountain, not a drain") are timeless, powerful reminders. These are the kind of insights that will transform not just my managements style, but my approach to team culture and personal growth as well."
