(KAIR)--A local bank president was among more than 100 banking representatives to gain an audience with the President of the United States.
Union State Bank of Everest President Steve Handke joined the bankers and staff of the Independent Community Bankers of America during the meeting with President Donald Trump, and other top administration officials at the White House.
According to a press release issued by Union State Bank, the meeting came as part of the 2017 ICBA Capital Summit held May 1 in Washington D.C.
During the meeting, ICBA community bankers presented President Trump with a red “Make Community Banking Great Again” ball cap.

President Trump told the ICBA representatives that his administration is focused on addressing regulatory burdens to help community banks lend to small businesses.
More than 1,000 community bankers are in Washington this week for ICBA’s Capital Summit to discuss critical issues facing community banks and the communities they serve.
