Independent Banker - December 2020 - 47

" WE LOOK TO A
CERTAIN TYPE OF
INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS
AN ENTREPRENEURIAL
SPIRIT, NOT SOMEONE
WHO JUST WANTS TO
DO THEIR DAY-TO-DAY
JOB, BUT SOMEONE
WHO HAS VISION. "
-TRACY PANATI, MERIDIAN BANK
Employees also have the opportunity
to move laterally to different
departments, which was important as
the bank launched additional business
units, such as mortgage banking and
wealth management.
" We do continue to hire people, but
Top: Employees of Meridian Bank, which went public in 2017, rang the closing bell of the
NASDAQ in November 2017. Above: Community bank employees ran the Spartan Race, an
obstacle course race held in Citizens Bank Park, in 2019. Below: The entire Meridian Bank team
celebrates the bank's 12-year anniversary in 2016 with a group photo.
there's also a tremendous amount
of talent brought up from within, "
Annas says. " It shows everybody that
they've got a career here-not just
a job. "
When attracting new talent,
Meridian Bank often offers
permanent positions to alumni of its
intern program, he says. This year,
the community bank conducted
its program remotely when other
banks suspended their intern
programs altogether
" Even when we don't hire every
intern, " Annas says, " each year we
send a whole bunch of young people
out into the business world who now
have a great idea about the banking
business and can be ambassadors for
the industry. "
