Queensborough is pleased to announce Kim Kirk, the bank’s Chief Operations Officer, has received a Standout honor as part of American Banker’s 2021 Most Powerful Women program.
This year’s honorees are finding new opportunities amid the pandemic and the recovering economy, creating more pathways for women leaders and supporting their teams and organizations as they demonstrate resilience and develop new ways of working.
