United Community is proud to celebrate the success of our Small Business Administration (SBA) Division's recent annual meeting in Greenville! This gathering, led by Patrick Mizzell, SBA Division President, brought together our talented team from across the Southeast for two days of focused learning, collaboration, and celebration. The highlight of the event was the annual awards dinner, where we recognized outstanding performance and years of service. We were especially honored to present the inaugural Beth Hallock Leadership Award to Kathy Szkutnik, recognizing her exceptional contributions and leadership. Beth, our former SBA President, retired from United last year after a 45-year career in banking, 40 of which were in SBA. Having her join us to present this leadership award is a testament to her lasting legacy and the impact she has had on our United team. Congratulations to all the award recipients and to the entire SBA team for their hard work and dedication to serving the small businesses in our communities! #UnitedCommunity #SBA #CommunityBanking
