“Supporting small businesses is a true honor for us as they play a crucial role in enriching our communities,” said Michael Griffiths, senior vice president of business lending at Mountain America. “We appreciate the recognition from NADCO, which highlights our team’s hard work and dedication to helping small businesses define and achieve their financial dreams.”
