Welcome to the Tennessee Bankers Association's Linkedin page. The Tennessee Bankers Association (TBA) is a trade association established to serve the needs of our state’s banks, thrift institutions, and trust companies. The Association provides continuing education, develops and monitors state and federal legislative agendas, disseminates information on all facets of the financial services industry, and promotes the public image of financial institutions. The TBA held its first annual convention on October 13, 1890, in Memphis. Today, 214 Tennessee banks, thrift institutions, and trust companies belong to the Association. Each year, the TBA conducts approximately 80 information, education, and training programs. Among these are the TBA Annual Meeting, Independent Bankers Division Convention, and the TBA Leadership Convention. The TBA conducts four banking schools—The Southeastern Schools of Banking, Commercial Lending, Consumer Credit, and Advanced Commercial Lending. On the legislative and legal fronts, TBA keeps members informed of rapid developments in the financial industry. The Association coordinates legislative programs on both the national and state levels, provides regulatory information to member institutions, researches legal questions posed by members, and serves as a liaison between member banks and the state and federal governing bodies and regulatory agencies. Through the Personal Economics Program (PEP), local bankers bring practical economic education to area schools, community, and civic organizations. The national Teach Children to Save Day and Get Smart About Credit Day, which teaches older teens about using credit wisely, are just two of the consumer-oriented activities under PEP.

Lisa Pominski of Wilson Bank & Trust in Lebanon was recently recognized with the prestigious honor of being inducted into the TBA's Leaders in Banking Excellence. Lisa's journey from a drive-thru teller to a transformative chief financial officer at Wilson Bank & Trust encapsulates her profound impact on Tennessee’s banking landscape. After starting her career in 1984, Lisa joined Wilson Bank & Trust at its inception in 1987. Her adeptness saw her swiftly ascend to pivotal roles within the bank. This culminated in her serving as the bank’s CFO for 27 years, where she was instrumental in growing Wilson Bank & Trust into the fourth largest bank headquartered in Tennessee. Lisa's banking expertise is matched by her community commitment, as a stalwart supporter of Relay for Life, United Way, and the Empower Me Center. Congratulations to Lisa on joining an esteemed group of Tennessee bankers, celebrated for their exceptional contributions to the banking industry, community service, and civic engagement.

Earlier this week, Terry L. Lee of Commercial Bank in Harrogate was inducted into the TBA's Leaders in Banking Excellence. Terry Lee, renowned for his loyalty, hard work, and sharp business acumen, played a pivotal role in the expansion and development of Commercial Bank. With an entrepreneurial spirit and deep banking knowledge, Terry drove remarkable growth and set new standards for the bank. Starting as a proof operator and bookkeeper, he became president in 1995, then CEO (2004) and chairman (2022). Under his leadership, he masterfully expanded Commercial Bank from 6 branches with $100 million in assets in one state to 35 branches with $2.1 billion in assets across three states, demonstrating his exceptional vision and commitment to the bank's success. Congrats to Terry, who joined a distinguished group of Tennessee bankers, both past and present, recognized for their outstanding achievements in banking, community service, and civic engagement.
