The Founders Series launched in the summer of 2023 to bring value to our customers, shareholders, neighbors, and friends.

The Founders Series is a signature initiative by Founders Bank, created with a single, unifying purpose: to foster meaningful community engagement by bringing together the visionaries and champions who drive growth and impact in the places we call home.

What is the Founders Series?

At its core, the Founders Series is a platform for connections. It’s a dynamic collection of panels, events, discussions, and special initiatives designed to unite local business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community advocates. Each gathering is thoughtfully curated to spark conversations, share insights, and encourage the exchange of experiences that uplift our communities.
