Shawn O. Walker was awarded a diploma on August 9 at commencement exercises during the 75th annual session of the prestigious Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Receiving Honors recognition, Walker demonstrated exemplary performance, graduating in the top 10% of his class of 180 students. Walker also received a Certificate of Executive Leadership from the University of Wisconsin School of Business for completing the rigorous GSB leadership curriculum.

The school, sponsored by state bankers associations from across the central United States, as well as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was established in 1945 to provide bankers with an opportunity for advanced study and research in banking, economics, and leadership. Instruction at the Graduate School of Banking takes place during two-week resident sessions over three consecutive years, along with a comprehensive study between resident sessions. The curriculum focuses on the management of strategic issues faced by banking executives and financial services industry professionals.

The Graduate School of Banking enrolls approximately 600 U.S. and international professionals each year. More than 85 esteemed academicians, economists, government officials, and industry professionals comprise the school’s faculty.

Walker joined Northwest Bank in 2008 and currently serves as executive vice president, chief marketing officer with oversight of marketing, communications, deposit products, and treasury management. He resides in Warren with his wife, Suzanne, and their four daughters.
