Issue 1. 2019 3 banks are lucky to have him on their team and I have been lucky to have him as a mentor and friend. Care About What You Do – Ac- cording to Steve Jobs, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do!” I have certainly learned a thing or two about being passionate from the bankers that I have worked with over the years. My husband, Michael, shudders when someone mentions “the disreputable and evil banking industry” because he knows I just can’t let it pass. I have had some of my best soapbox moments defending banking and bankers. I can only say that the bankers I have worked with are passionate about serving their customers, building their communi- ties and providing jobs and sharing the wealth. Don’t get me started – we don’t have time. While I am talking about people who care about what they do I can’t miss the opportunity to mention the members of the UBA staff that I have had the great privilege to work with. Becky Wilkes, Lindsay Scott and Sara Matute are three of the most passionate, hard-working, and smart women that you will ever meet. They love their jobs, the bankers they work with and for, and being part of the team that serves you as bankers. They are dedicated, deter- mined, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I am a better person for my relationships with each of them. I will desperate- ly miss working with them daily but will always cherish their friendship and the wisdom I gained from shar- ing a career with them. So, as I approach what will probably be one of the greatest transitions of my life, I am well prepared. I learned from each of you to embrace change, to be creative and innovative in ap- proaching it, to make new friends and keep the old, to be passionate about whatever it is I am doing, and to serve others with love and dedication. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories, relationships, and op- portunities you have given me. I am proud to have built an amazing career in the world’s greatest industry. n Performing Dance Center, Salt Lake City State Brass Foundry & Machine, Tooele For operating capital needs, talk to us about SBA Community Advantage (7a) Loans. 801.474.3232 | mwsbf. com Partner with us on SBA 504 Loans. • Purchase land and equipment • Buy, build, or remodel a building • Lower monthly payments • 10, 20, and 25-year fixed rates • As little as 10% down Utah’s #1 Small Business Lender Many Small Businesses are Using SBA 504 Loans to Succeed WHICH ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS WILL BE NEXT?
