Lisa Otery, senior vice president of deposit operations at QNB Bank, recently graduated from the ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking, the industry’s preeminent graduate school. She was recognized on June 9 with a Stonier diploma and Wharton leadership certificate.

“Stonier has given me an opportunity to learn from the best minds in the financial services industry as well as the chance to exchange ideas with my peers from across the country,” said Otery.

This year, Stonier was held in person for the first time since 2019, with 532 students attending seven days of classes in June and representing banks of all sizes and geographies, various regulatory agencies, and international organizations. Stonier’s intensive education program complements extension projects throughout the year.

The program culminates with a capstone strategic project, where students develop comprehensive business projects for their financial institutions.
