Celebrating Community Partnerships
Hear from Alpine Bank regional president Michael Brown on why he's joyfully celebrating 35 years with the company AND why he celebrates community partnerships like the one with Roundup River Ranch, which is celebrating its 20th year. Cathy Ethington joins Mike to give an overview of RRR, including its free summer and family camp experiences to children with life-altering diagnoses. Both Mike and Cathy are grateful for this partnership and the positive impact it has on the greater community.
