The Mississippi Bankers Association annually honors Mississippians with an astounding 40 years of service to the banking profession. At its 2014 Annual Convention, the Mississippi Bankers Association recognized Trustmark’s own Marilyn Britt as a member of this highly-regarded 40-Year Club.

“Marilyn exhibits the qualities of a dedicated associate, someone who takes a sincere interest in her customers and colleagues. She demonstrates her loyalty to Trustmark daily and is a true asset to the organization,” Joe B. Madden, Trustmark’s community bank president in Hazlehurst, said. “With 40 years of banking experience, Marilyn is very knowledgeable in the banking industry and is a great example for his fellow associates to follow.”
