Member Profile

Briana Williams’ journey into banking began with a friend's encouragement, but it quickly became a passion that shaped her career. As she built connections with individuals and nonprofits, she saw a growing need for a dedicated role to bridge the bank to the community, leading to the creation of her position as Community Relations Officer at Queensborough National Bank & Trust Co. "Banking is all about relationships," she said, emphasizing how her role allows her to direct resources where they’re needed most. She especially enjoys working with nonprofits, helping turn their ideas into impactful initiatives. A key piece of advice that guides her work is, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail," a reminder that preparation is essential for success. Whether strengthening community ties or strategizing the bank’s outreach efforts, Williams, a member of GBA’s Women in Banking Committee, is committed to making a difference in both her industry and her hometown.
