Please join us in extending congratulations to Dime’s own Jeff Lazzaris, Corporate Officer, Senior Credit Analyst and Abigail St. Louis, Assistant Branch Manager, Colchester, on graduating from the Connecticut School of Finance and Management. In addition to finishing this program, Jeff received the prestigious John C. Shortell Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement as one of top two students among the graduating Class of 2024 and joins a select group of outstanding students who have received this honor. The Connecticut School of Finance and Management (CSFM) provides an opportunity for junior management personnel and other key employees of Connecticut’s banking industry to obtain a more comprehensive knowledge and awareness of banking theory, practices and procedures, capital markets and management functions which will be of substantial value in their preparation for new and greater responsibilities at or within the management level. This two-year program is designed to increase the knowledge of the students in their own specialties and at the same time introduce them to a wide range of banking topics. Upon conclusion, the students will have developed a broader perspective of the industry, a more enlightened view of their own bank and most importantly, a better awareness of their individual capacities. Congrats, Jeff and Abigail on your achievement!
