| President's Message: Community Involvement |
|
In keeping with our mission to support Denver area minority and Latino businesses and nonprofits, we encourage our board members and employees to actively participate with the community. In this issue, we highlight our esteemed Board Chairman Ron Montoya, who recently joined Senator Michael Bennet in Washington, DC for a discussion on job growth within the Latino community. We would also like to give a shout out to various local nonprofits we support, and we would like to welcome our newest SBA expert lender, Frank Lomeli to the team. Enjoy these warm spring days!
Sincerely,
Doug Crichfield
