Managing the complex business of the bank’s commercial real estate customers takes a lot of drive, but making sure everyone gets the personal service for which Frost Bank is known is more important. Whether managing portfolios, underwriting loans, or providing financing for retail, industrial, office, and multi-family construction, Harris understand that integrity is key – and growing and maintaining trustworthy relationships is what really builds a community.

About the Program: The Golf Tournament combines networking and entertainment for businesses and their clients. The day includes golf, prizes, a silent auction and much more. Various levels of sponsorships are available and provide an excellent marketing opportunity for member businesses.

Personally Speaking: Adam is a graduate of the North Chamber’s 2012 Leadership Lab class. His volunteer work with the North Chamber demonstrates the strength of his civic and personal business commitments. “The North Chamber plays a vital role in connecting local businesses in the community through efforts to advocate for business and education, recognize deserving leaders, and provide professional development,” he says. “The golf tournament is a great way to get out and enjoy a fun-filled day, and socialize and network with other members and to help support the North Chamber of Commerce,” Harris says.
