Winner: John Steinmetz, Vista Bank

Earlier this year, the vision of Vista Bank president and CEO John Steinmetz was fulfilled with the opening of a new bank and financial literary center in South Dallas—the first bank to open in Fair Park in nearly three decades. As part of the project, John and Vista formed a partnership with the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce which will share office space in the new site. The bank is working with the DBCC to develop a microloan program to support small businesses and community leaders in the neighborhood. Steinmetz says he hopes that in the next 20 years, Vista’s multimillion-dollar investment will serve as a pilot program showing measurable results that can be replicated in other underserved communities.

Finalists: J.W. Brown, Premier Capital; Shonn Brown, Kimberly-Clark Corp.; Edward Crawford, Coltala Holdings; Edgar Guevara, M Crowd Restaurant Group; Sam Kang, Schwab Charitable; Alta Mantsch, Tolleson Wealth Management; Brendan McGuire, PNC Bank; Rusty Reid, Higginbotham; Steven Williams, PepsiCo Foods North America.
