The banking industry in the Old West was based largely on trust and relationships. Even during this era of crypto and digital-only banks, it’s still relationships that matter. For the third consecutive year, readers have voted Clarissa Rowe, Community Relations Officer of Monterey County Bank, as the best banker. As Community Relations Officer – don’t you wish every business had someone with that job? – she serves as a liaison of sorts. She is now chair of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce, serves on the P.G. Chamber board and just wrapped up serving on the Monterey Peninsula Chamber. She puts a human face to a numbers business, and she’s humble about it – ask her what makes her great, and she gives the credit to her colleagues.
