sal white house.jpgBETHANY, W.Va. – Salvatore Marranca, a 1968 Bethany graduate and Chairman of the Board for Cattaraugus County Bank in Little Valley, New York, attended a gathering at the White House for the Independent Community Bankers Association on Monday, May 1.

More than 100 members of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), which represents more than 5,000 independent community banks throughout the country, gathered in the White House garden to hear remarks from President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Secretary of Economic Affairs, among others, about the role community bankers’ play in America today.

Salvatore noted that “nothing like this has ever happened before,” allowing for new grounds to be broken within the banking industry as overregulation and tax reform were topics of discussion. Salvatore expressed that the afternoon brought on positive attention to the Independent Community Bankers of America, as well as community banking.
