Alex Keltner, senior vice president at First Southern National Bank, recently graduated from the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado (GSBC), a 25-month banking school which provides senior management and leadership education for community-banking professionals. Keltner was among 160 graduates of the 64th Annual School Session, hosted on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder, Col.

“We’re honored to have Alex on our team and proud to congratulate him on such a great accomplishment,” said Rusty Clark, president for First Southern National Bank. “Alex has been an integral part of many successes at First Southern already. I’m confident his experiences at the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado will foster even more growth – both personally and professionally.”

Keltner has been part of the First Southern team since 1994 and currently serves as senior vice president from the FSNB offices in Russellville.

Keltner’s successful completion of the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado was dependent on classwork, simulation and intersession projects focused on management, human-resource management, lending, leadership and financial management.
