27 Juin 2023 - 3:00PM
Sandy Spring Bank, a subsidiary of Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SASR), announced today that Ronda M. McDowell, Executive
Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, is the new Chair of
the Maryland Bankers Association (MBA) Board of Directors for the
2023-2024 year. McDowell has served on the MBA Board for three
years and previously held the roles of Vice Chair and Chair-Elect.
“Ronda's extensive scope of accomplishments and
masterful command of the Maryland banking industry will inspire and
excite members during our 128th year," said MBA's President and
CEO, Ramon Looby. "In an ever-changing industry, Ronda has shown
she is an effective and dedicated leader with focused priorities. I
am excited for the successes ahead as she leads the Association as
our Chair."
McDowell has more than 35 years of experience in
the financial services industry. She began her distinguished career
with Sandy Spring Bank in 1996 as part of Credit Risk Management
where she quickly established herself as an effective leader. In
2013, she was promoted to Chief Credit Officer. McDowell was named
the first Chief Operations Officer at Sandy Spring Bank in 2021.
She oversees Deposit and Loan Operations and Administration,
Business Project Management, Business Process Management and
Corporate Real Estate and Facilities.
“I welcome the opportunity to serve as Chair of
the Maryland Bankers Association,” McDowell said. “MBA plays a
critical role in helping Maryland banks review state legislation
and provides an important advocacy function, which is critical for
all banks, especially regional and community banks that don’t have
a government relations capability in-house.”
The MBA board has 18 members, each representing
one of the Maryland member banks. The Chair leads the executive
committee in running the association, and plays an active role in
legislative bill review and advocacy.
“My priority as Chair is to find out what matters
most to members and what MBA can do to increase the value of
membership,” McDowell said. “With more consolidation in the banking
industry over the past few decades, it is very important for MBA
members to get more involved in the association. We need to be an
engaged and active voice for the banking industry which is critical
for the success of banks and all those we serve.”
