"Ringing the closing bell to mark our 20th anniversary as a public company is both an honor and a testament to our strong and sustained growth as one of the country's largest and best-performing commercial banks," Mr. Vecchione said. "Originally focused on Western regional markets, we've grown from a collection of community banks into a national commercial banking company with 56 offices and over 3500 employees throughout the United States. I am grateful for each member of our Western Alliance team who has contributed to our success, going beyond the ordinary in banking to provide clients with extraordinary, personalized service and industry expertise. Today's public recognition at the NYSE is a fitting tribute to their efforts."
