"This award is made possible through the contributions of hundreds of bankers throughout the state", said Linda W. Navarro, President and CEO of the OBA. "Participation in events like Teach Children to Save Day and Get Smart About Credit Day highlight the financial literacy efforts bankers make in their communities throughout the year".
