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.
“For Umpqua, social media is an extension of what we strive to
do every day: create meaningful connections with people and
organizations in the communities we serve,” said Eve Callahan,
senior vice president of corporate communications for Umpqua Bank.
“We’re pleased to be recognized by ICBA again for our efforts in
this vibrant, always-evolving space, and look forward to exploring
new ways to build community in social media and beyond.”

to be part of ICBA’s list. Community banks were chosen based on
their engagement with fans and followers, the content distributed
on their social media platforms, the number of fans and/or
followers they have, and the frequency of posting new content.
