Coleman Movers & Shakers – Itzel Meador, Anthony LaMarca, and Randy Wolfe
First Security Bank Hires Itzel Meador as SBA Lending Director
“We’ve always said our customers get to choose when they get to bank with us and when they don’t. It’s always on their time, not ours. This is another example of trying to put that decision on them hopefully,” says John Rutledge, Regional President. “We hope, over time, with Itzel’s ability to help our communities and our bankers and our markets gain more knowledge and comfort and confidence with SBA, and what’s out there and what’s possible, that SBA will be an option upfront for the customer.”
Meador, a University of Texas at Dallas graduate, found work in short fashion for Little Rock-based Arkansas Capital Corp. as a loan assistant. She quickly elevated to a lender position and cut her teeth with a portfolio of SBA-backed loans. After a 10-year career at ACC, Meador worked for two other banks in SBA lending before her current role as SBA lending director at First Security Bank.
