Local bank offers financial development to teens

ATLANTA -- Community & Southern Bank is holding a conference in early June, where high school students in and around Atlanta can learn about finances.

The 21st Century Leaders Youth Leadership Conference is part of a weeklong Youth Leadership Institute taking place at Emory on June 2 - 7. 

Six team members from Community & Southern Bank will be there to talk about financial responsibility, banking and finance management. Those six are holding afternoon sessions on Monday, June 3.

"As banking professionals, we understand the need to cultivate fiscally sound members of society. We want to ensure their personal finances - and the economic security of our state and nation - are positively impacted by good choices," CSB's Chief Executive Officer said. "It is of utmost importance to CSB that we help guide the development of financial skills for the next generation of leaders."
