Maria Esteves was named Employee of the Quarter for the Fourth Quarter of 2009.

According to Jan Phillips, Assistant Vice President at South Tipton, the staff also noted Maria’s creativity and her ability to handle different tasks with accuracy and a great attitude. “Maria works as the drive-thru teller at South Tipton where she has handled 44% of the transactions for the branch with few if any errors, said Phillips. “In addition to these qualities, she is a pleasure to work with. Her customers love her and so do her co-workers!” Maria and her husband Jose have one daughter and live in Munford.

At the end of the school year, the Chamber will host a breakfast sponsored by Patriot Bank to honor all of the Students of the Month and their parents.
