First Western Leading the Community
May 10, 2018
At First Western Trust, being socially responsible is part of who we are. We pride ourselves on the commitment our associates make to investing in our communities through their involvement with a number of nonprofits, donating their time to local organizations by serving on boards and advisory committees.
We would like to congratulate a few of our associates who have recently accepted board positions with local organizations.
