VeraBank Announces 2024 Employee of the Year

HENDERSON, TX – VeraBank is excited to congratulate Tamara Byrdsong as the 2024 “Nelwyn Richardson Employee of the Year” recipient.

Tamara has been employed with the bank since 2013 and serves as the Retail Branch Administrator for the bank. Prior to her promotion to this role, Tamara served as the branch manager for the Longview 4th Street and Lakeport locations.

The Nelwyn Richardson Employee of the Year award highlights an employee's exceptional performance and significant contributions to our bank's success over the past year.

“Tamara has been an integral part of our team for more than 12 years, and her experience with our bank has positioned her as an exceptional decision-maker and leader – both attributes of which have enabled her to push herself and colleagues,” said VeraBank Sr. Executive Vice President, Chief Retail Banking Officer Woodie Tipps. “I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.”

CEO Brad Tidwell added, “Our bank thrives because of leaders like Tamara, who bring expertise and ingenuity to the forefront. Employees like Tamara are rare and are an example for all of us.”

Some of Tamara’s closest peers also commented about working alongside her at VeraBank. 

Tamara’s ability to balance directness with compassion and her tremendous amount of banking knowledge are just a couple of her excellent qualities that make her a true asset to our team.

Tamara is always positive and encourages her employees to bond and make connections with each other. She is a wonderful role model for everyone and truly embodies the spirit of excellence.

To be considered for the Nelwyn Richardson Employee of the Year award, employees had to have been a VeraBank Employee of the Month Honoree within the respective year.

Tamara is married and has four daughters. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with her husband and children, helping with her daughter’s soccer activities and volunteering with her church.
