Alexis Kahn, vice president and cash management sales manager at Chelsea Groton Bank, has been named to the 2022 40 Under 40: Emerging Community Bank Leaders list produced by Independent Banker magazine.

The award recognizes the nation’s up-and-coming community bank innovators and influencers who represent the future of the industry.

“ICBA congratulates Alexis Kahn on this well-deserved recognition,” ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey said. “We celebrate Alexis on this accomplishment and wish her continued success.”

The feature story in the June issue of Independent Banker highlights how the 40 Under 40 honorees have overcome challenges and answered calls for innovation while staying true to the guiding principles that make community banking special. Candidates were judged on their character, leadership, community involvement, and innovation.

“I’m a proud community banker and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of my neighbors, businesses and community organizations here in Connecticut,” Kahn said in a release.
