A Year Filled with Lasting Memories

by Kenneth Semien Sr.

The Durward K. McDaniel (DKM) Fund Committee marks 2022 as a remarkable and historical year, with three classes of DKM First-Timers and ACB/JPMorgan Chase Leadership Fellows being given the privilege of attending the first-ever hybrid ACB conference and convention and the first-ever induction ceremony of the Durward K. McDaniel (DKM) Leadership Select Honor Society officiated by Cindy Hollis, ACB’s Manager of Member Engagement.

Members of all classes created memories by joining together from here, there and everywhere to participate in leadership development sessions, exclusive receptions, a variety of affiliate and committee activities, educational general sessions, tours and more. If asked, this group of current and future leaders would be willing to share personal memories that they will cherish forever.
