Suggs is a graduate of the University of North Alabama, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Education. She joined Bank Independent in November 2000 as a part-time teller at the Pine Street Sales Office, launching a 25-year career marked by steady growth and expanding leadership responsibility. Throughout her tenure, Suggs has developed broad expertise across the bank’s products and services, gaining both operational and project-based experience. Her holistic understanding of how initiatives impact team members, customers, and the overall organization has been instrumental in strengthening the bank’s customer-focused approach. “Selena has a unique ability to see the full picture—from our internal processes to the customer’s perspective—and turn that insight into meaningful improvements,” said Penny Camp, Chief Administrative Officer. “Her leadership has elevated how we think about customer experience, and this promotion reflects the tremendous value she brings to our bank and our customers.” Teresa Turner has been promoted to Senior Vice President – Financial Advisor Program Manager. ![Teresa Turner](https://blog.bibank.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teresa%20Turner.jpg?width=350&height=453&name=Teresa%20Turner.jpg)Turner joined Bank Independent in January 2020 as a Financial Advisor and Program Manager, playing a key role in launching Independent Investments Group (IIG) through the bank’s partnership with Ameriprise. Since that time, she has been instrumental in the growth and success of the program and is a trusted advisor to clients across the region. Turner began her career in financial services in 1985 as an accountant with a local bank and became a licensed financial advisor in 1996. With more than 30 years of industry experience, she has consistently ranked in the top ten percent of her field and has earned numerous Top Producer Awards. Most recently, Ameriprise recognized her as one of the Top Women Financial Advisors in the banking channel for two consecutive years. “Teresa’s experience, integrity, and dedication to her clients have been foundational to the success of Independent Investments Group,” said Jason Windham, President of Bank Independent. “She exemplifies what it means to be a trusted financial partner, and we are proud to recognize her leadership with this well-earned promotion.” These promotions underscore Bank Independent’s commitment to developing leaders and investing in the expertise needed to serve customers with excellence today and into the future. **About Bank Independent** **Since 1947, Bank Independent has taken pride in serving the customers who count on us to be there for them when they need us most.
