Sunrise Bank of Arizona’s outlook for the future is full of ambition, energy and optimism. Our team has a primary goal of being one of Arizona’s greatest community banks. To achieve this lofty goal we must execute our strategic roadmap to perfection.
| Our board members are an integral part of our team and vital to our future. |
We knew it would take a very talented group of skilled team members to grow our bank. In 2007, we added knowledgeable, experienced bankers to our retail, underwriting, client services, business development and commercial lending teams. All of these team members are exceptional banking professionals with tremendous skills. Combining our existing core team with our new additions makes Sunrise Bank of Arizona a formidable competitor within the state of Arizona.
Our board members are an integral part of our team and vital to our future. Their value to our bank has been proven many times in 2007. Our bank’s success in 2008 will be significantly enhanced by the number of referrals and opportunities presented to our team by our directors.
In 2008, we are reintroducing our bank to our community. We are the co-developer and presenter of a financial literacy program for charter schools. We also act as the title sponsor of the 5th Avenue Farmers Market in Scottsdale, Arizona. Our team is active and will increase our efforts with the Hispanic Chamber, United States Hispanic Chamber, Italian Chamber and the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce. We are a sponsor of the Arcadia Pride 5K run and a contributor to Free Arts of Arizona, Mission of Mercy and the Boys & Girls Club. Every community contribution we make is specifically targeted to benefit children, cultural events, education and/or the arts.
Lastly, we have created two very important teams. The Creative Solutions team takes on our marketing and community challenges. Our Raving Fans team ensures that the recognition of our team members is always the most important thing we do. As we continue to grow our community bank, these two teams will be essential to our success.
