The Paycheck Protection Program has cast a national light on the role of community banks in supporting small businesses, ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey writes in Main Street Matters.
The spotlight is directing the nation's attention to all that community banks stand for, such as meeting the needs of underserved communities, individuals of moderate means, and small businesses.
"I encourage community banks to continue to share their successes and help raise awareness of the role they play as the cornerstone of community," Romero Rainey writes.
