Congratulations to the Barret School of Banking Graduates
John McNair, President & CEO, Community Bankers Association of Georgia, had the honor of attending the 2022 Barret School of Banking graduation last week in Memphis, TN.
Mr. McNair serves on the Board of Regents for Barret School of Banking. “It was an honor to attend the graduation ceremony,” stated Mr. McNair. “Chris Kelley and his team do an amazing job executing the mission of the school.
