Bryant Named Wichita Area Executive of the Year Honoree

Union State Bank Senior Vice President and Arkansas City Market President Bradley Bryant has been recognized as a 2024 Executive of the Year Honoree by the Wichita Business Journal. Bryant is one of twenty-five professionals recognized for their outstanding leadership who were featured in the October 10th print edition of the journal.

“These senior-level executives are leading their companies to great heights through finance, development or overall direction,” said Kirk Seminoff, Editor of the Wichita Business Journal.

Bryant has over twenty years of experience in financial leadership roles.

“I have been blessed to have been part of great teams throughout my career,” Bryant said. “I believe, that in any organization, more can be accomplished collectively than by individual effort.”

Bryant joined Union State Bank as a Commercial / Agricultural Loan Officer in 2016.

“Before joining USB I had spent my career in public accounting and then in the finance department for a large manufacturing company. I moved back to Cowley County to focus on our family's farm operation when the bank had a need for a commercial and ag loan officer,” explained Bryant. “The timing was right for me and allowed me to combine my skills and background and continue to grow professionally.”

Bryant continues to farm as a second career, actively involved in both crop and livestock production. Simultaneously, as a senior vice president and the Arkansas City market president for Union State Bank, he works as part of the organization’s leadership team to develop financial service relationships.

“I work to make all members of my team feel valued and appreciated. I can't be successful if they aren't,” Bryant said.
