In this special year-end episode of Values Matter, Eric Eden, Mary Stratton Smith, and Cherie Thompson gather to reflect on a season filled with change, growth, and community. From Thanksgiving rituals and Christmas traditions to New Year anxieties and ambitions, the team opens up about how they balance work, family, and rest during the holidays.
They also highlight major accomplishments across BankPlus—culture leadership milestones, new technology initiatives, customer-focused improvements, and the continued growth of The Source network for women in business. With gratitude for the past year and excitement for what's ahead in 2026, this warm and candid conversation celebrates the people, values, and shared experiences that make BankPlus feel like family.
