Andrew Stafford Elevated to Bank Officer and Credit Analyst II

(Broken Arrow, OK) –  Andrew Stafford has been promoted to Bank Officer and Credit Analyst II, announced by AVB Bank President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ted Cundiff. Stafford joined AVB Bank in July 2023 as Credit Analyst I, tenaciously advancing to his current role.
