"The objective of State National Bank is to partner with the community in every way we can. With this series, we are bringing in specific experts that our farm, ranch, and agriculture business customers want to hear from, so they can receive valuable information and answers to their questions," said Deke Alexander of the newly launched series. "We wanted to ensure that everyone who wants to attend has the chance to hear this information, so we are holding the event three times, in Groom, Panhandle, and Claude, so hopefully, there is a date that works for everyone."
Lance Ollinger, who is also Chairman of State National Bank, praised the initiative, stating, "Community farmers and businesses understand the local impacts of statewide, nationwide, and worldwide events. Having experts from outside the market share these insights provides much-needed value to our community."
