Based at the bank’s Dallas headquarters at the Old Parkland East Campus, she will work across all of its markets statewide.
“Susser Bank is at a point in its growth where scale, focus and community engagement must move forward together,” notes Carl Cravens, president and chief banking officer. “Effie brings the experience and perspective to help us grow intentionally, supporting our clients, strengthening our presence in key markets and ensuring we remain a trusted partner in the communities where we do business.”
Dennison brings more than 25 years of experience in strategic growth and community development. Before joining Susser Bank, she served as managing director and head of community development and corporate responsibility at a well-known Texas-based bank, where she led statewide efforts across affordable housing, economic development, community investment, corporate philanthropy and employee engagement.
Dennison is an active civic leader and currently serves on the boards of The Family Place and Texas Women’s Foundation Alumnae. She has received multiple honors for her leadership in corporate responsibility and community advocacy, including the Dallas Business Journal’s “Minority Business Leader Community Advocate” Award and “Women Who Mean Business” Award.
