Junior Board of Directors 2023 Kick-off
United’s executive leadership joined our Legacy Early College Junior Board of Directors in Greenville for the 2023-2024 Kick-Off at Legacy Early College High School. Scholars on the Junior Board had the opportunity to ask leadership about financial tips, career advice, and the banking industry during their time together.
The Junior Board program was created in 2005 and continues to be a successful initiative in 12 of our bank communities. The purpose of the program is to introduce outstanding high school upperclassmen to the local business community by providing them the opportunity to lead various community service projects while representing United.

Surprise Squad: Local Mom Making a Difference
Robyn Smith, a local Greenville parent, was surprised by the FOX Carolina Surprise Squad!

Named after her daughter with a rare disability, the Selah Grey Foundation helps to fill the gaps for children who may feel they don’t have a place.
