In January 2007, Veritex Bank created a community outreach program to provide a peer network for professional women in the Lakewood area. Veritex now has Park Cities/North Dallas, Collin County, Tarrant County and Houston programs. Since inception, the programs have been well received and grown considerably. They each hold monthly social networking events and additional social opportunities with the premise of "Make friends first and the business will follow." They are open to any female executive or business owner living and/or working in the general areas.There is no cost to join, as Veritex Community Bank underwrites these programs as part of its service to the community. Here to talk to us is the the woman who started it all, Darlene Ellison!Connect with us!
