Drew Ballard, VP at Wilson & Muir Bank, recently graduated from the prestigious Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI, marking a significant milestone in his career.
During the program’s three-year span, he also earned a certificate of Executive Leadership from the Wisconsin School of Business Center for Professional and Executive Development for completing the rigorous GSB leadership curriculum. During his time at GSB, Drew completed an extensive curriculum covering topics such as advanced financial management, risk assessment, strategic planning and regulatory compliance.
“Drew has been an integral part of Wilson & Muir Bank’s management team where he has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to excellence in everything he does,” said Frank Wilson, President & CEO. “The program demands a tremendous amount of time on campus each summer and many hours after the bank is closed to complete the course assignments. I am grateful for the patience and support of his wife Marci and their children, Anna Claire and Andy during his absences from family affairs. And, grateful for the WMB team for supporting Drew’s clients during his time away,” added Wilson.
The Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is committed to advancing the banking industry through education and leadership development. Each year, it produces graduates who are well-prepared to tackle the evolving challenges and opportunities within the financial sector.
