BankAnnapolis was recently honored for excellence in financial services by the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Maryland Bankers Association.

The Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce awarded BankAnnapolis the 2011 Financial Services Award at its annual Comcast Hall of Fame and Business Awards dinner. The Chamber awards recognize the community's top businesses in a variety of categories including individual business leader, small business, nonprofit, financial services, and sales and marketing, among others. The Outstanding Business Achievement in Financial Services Award is presented to a business in the banking, insurance or other financial services industry for innovation and leadership in the identification of products or services that best fit the needs of the community. The recipient must have an overall record of demonstrated corporate responsibility and community involvement.

Separately, the Maryland Bankers Association and Maryland Banker Magazine in partnership with The Warren Group recognized BankAnnapolis Vice President and Senior Credit Officer Shawn Schoene as one of sixteen "Next Leaders in Banking" at an awards gala prior to this year's BankNext Conference and Exposition in Baltimore. The inaugural awards event honored bankers throughout Maryland who are considered rising stars in their profession. These individuals have made significant contributions to their institutions and the communities in which they serve.

"We are all extremely proud of Shawn's accomplishment, and as an organization, we are honored to receive the Chamber's Financial Services Award," said Richard M. Lerner, Chairman and CEO of BankAnnapolis. "But we are even more proud of the work we do every day to ensure that our clients receive the best possible, personalized service and attention that only a forward-thinking, locally-owned and managed bank can provide."
