“You take your experience wherever you go.” If there’s one thing our EVP and Deputy COO Johnny Hsu believes, it’s that whatever you do, there is always something you can learn from it.   In our latest Lunch & Learn, Johnny talked about his 32-year career at Preferred Bank where he started part-time in Accounts Payable, to becoming a portfolio manager, to now leading several teams across departments. He shared with us the importance of having a “yes” mentality, why gaining a breadth of experience and knowledge is invaluable, and why we shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help.   #lunchandlearn #preferredbank #employeeengagement #lunchandlearn

Students need real-world business skills just as much as they need academic knowledge. We’re pleased to continue partnering with Youth Business Alliance (YBA), which provides high school students in underserved communities with the skills to succeed both in college, their career, and life. Preferred Bank volunteers worked with Manual Arts High School seniors to review and evaluate their portfolios and presentations, where they showcased their resumes, personal statements, reflections, and post-graduation plans. Congratulations to the Manual Arts seniors on graduating. Wishing everyone luck on their college and professional journeys! #communitypartner #youthbusinessalliance #manualartshighschool

Small businesses are the true backbone of America. They make up 99.9% of all businesses in the U.S. and created almost 2/3 of all new jobs over the past 25 years. This Small Business Month, we want to celebrate the importance of small businesses and encourage everyone to support their local mom-and-pops!   #SmallBusinessMonth #SBA #SBAPreferredLender
