As we enter the holiday season, our thoughts turn to those who have made our work here at SouthState meaningful – our community and our team.
Personally, it’s an honor to work alongside such dedicated hard-working folks and to witness them contribute to a stronger community, and not just financially, but as compassionate and intentional contributors to a host of causes that make a big difference locally.
One of SouthState company’s core values recognizes that while our work can bring us a sense of accomplishment, our profession is not our life’s purpose. We believe each employee has a greater purpose in life than working for SouthState, but SouthState can help us accomplish that purpose.
We recognize that Ocala has experienced incredible growth and is presenting many opportunities and challenges as a result. So, while considering this coming year’s personal or business plans, please reach out to us to discuss what banking solutions we can offer in support of those plans.
If you haven’t yet banked with us, I invite you to visit and see how we do things. You can expect excellent customer service, with careful attention to making your life easier and more convenient.
We know our company’s success is directly linked to the financial health of our community. That is why you can count on your local SouthState team to continue efforts to strengthen the community through corporate giving and volunteering in an impactful way in the coming year.
Our ability to gather after restrictions over the past few years makes this season particularly joyous to anticipate. However, our team is mindful that it is not the same for all families, especially those who have experienced loss, and I hope that as a community we will rally to support them during the tender moments the season will bring.
On behalf of the local SouthState team, I wish you a happy holiday season and a happy and healthy new year.
Rusty Branson
SVP, Regional President
