Swinging for Advocacy: Highlights from the Atlanta Topgolf Showdown

CBA hosted the popular Topgolf Showdown last week at Topgolf in Atlanta, bringing together community bankers and partners.

The event supported CBA’s advocacy initiatives and offered attendees an afternoon of golf, networking, food, and prizes. Lori Godfrey, CBA’s COO, Government and Regulatory Relations, thanked participants and emphasized the importance of this fundraiser in supporting advocacy efforts.
