Hall of Fame class set for ceremony

The Oklahoma Bankers Hall of Fame will induct the four bankers who we re selected for its 2024 class in early December.

Guy Berry III, Herschel Brewster, Brad Krieger, and Gregg Vandaveer will make up the 2024 class. The inductees were selected by a panel of bankers from across the state, and were voted on late last week.

The induction ceremony will be held Dec. 5 at the Oklahoma History Center. It will be hosted by the Oklahoma Bankers Association’s immediate past chair, Bryan Cain, who is also president and CEO of Sovereign Bank, in Shawnee.
