For the second year in a row, Independent Community Bankers of America® (ICBA) has selected Umpqua Bank, a subsidiary of Umpqua Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:UMPQ), as the nation’s top Community Bank Leader in Social Media. This is the second year ICBA has compiled this list, which highlights community bank social media trailblazers.
