Introducing the BankHer Award

Nominate a Leader in Colorado Banking

The Colorado Bankers Association is proud to introduce the BankHer Award—a new recognition celebrating the women who are shaping the future of banking in Colorado.

This award honors women who demonstrate exceptional leadership, a strong commitment to their institutions, and meaningful contributions to their communities and the banking industry. Their impact strengthens not only their organizations, but the industry as a whole.

Each year, two recipients will be selected and recognized at the Women in Banking Conference, highlighting the strength, innovation, and dedication women bring to banking.

This year's Women in Banking Conference will be taking place August 3-4 at the Steamboat Grand in Steamboat Springs, CO.

If you know a woman who embodies leadership, mentorship, and impact—we encourage you to submit a nomination and help us recognize the leaders moving our industry forward.

Our second stop on today’s Colorado Bankers Association road trip took us to beautiful Fowler, where we had a great visit with Jonathan Fox and Brandon McCuistion of Fowler State Bank.

Founded over 125 years ago, Fowler State Bank has been serving southeastern Colorado communities for more than a century, building strong relationships and supporting local families, farms, and businesses along the way. We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with community bankers who are making such a meaningful impact in rural Colorado.
