WesBanco Mission Aligns with MCEE

When a company is committed to making the communities they serve a better place for people and businesses to thrive, AND their employees directly participate in financial education programs, Maryland students - and MCEE - benefit.

That type of meaningful partnership is best exemplified by WesBanco’s participation with the Maryland Council on Economics Education.

Not only is the financial services provider a long-time financial supporter of MCEE, but members of the bank’s leadership team contribute their expertise and guidance to students in MCEE-coordinated activities. This Spring, for example, WesBanco Vice President and Commercial Banker Sue Sollers and Senior Vice President and Regional Commercial Officer Sammy Pulliam volunteered to assist students competing in the final round of  the Maryland Personal Finance Challenge, where they evaluated the presentations created and delivered by six student teams to address a fictional family financial scenario.

“Our partnership with MCEE is a natural fit for WesBanco,” says Amy Grutzner, Vice President and Commercial Banker and an MCEE board member. “We’re committed to empowering people to make informed decisions at every stage of their financial journey. That perfectly aligns with MCEE’s mission to equip Maryland youth with the financial knowledge and skills they need to be successful throughout their lives. Supporting MCEE allows us to extend our commitment to the youth in the communities we serve. “
