Kansas City, MO – Katie Hammons, Vice President, Healthcare Banking Division Leader, has been named to Kansas City Business Journal’s NEXTGen Class of 2020. The award recognizes the budding talent in the Kansas City community, including helping emerging leaders continue to build their knowledge and skill sets and connect them with each other and the present generation of Kansas City leaders.
