FIRST CITIZENS RANKS #5
IN BEST BANKS TO WORK FOR IN U.S.
For the 2nd consecutive year, First Citizens National Bank has been named one of the
Best Banks to Work For. First Citizens ranks 5th overall for banks across the entire United States. The program, which was initiated in 2013 to identify, recognize and honor the best banks to work for in the nation, is a project of American Banker and Best Companies Group.
To be considered for participation, banks had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 50 employees working in the US;
- Be a Commercial Bank, Thrift, Mutual Association, Mutual Savings Bank, Savings and Loan Association or a Savings Bank.
In all, 40 banks achieved "Best Bank" status in the program. Thefull Best Banks to Work For list is featured in the November issue of American Banker Magazine and is available online at AmericanBanker.com.
Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating bank's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top banks and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

 Per the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), the University of Memphis is required to publish an annual report disclosing campus security policies and crime statistics for the last three complete calendar years. The report contains the most recent three years of campus crime and fire safety statistics (2011-2013), and certain campus security policy statements (e.g., reporting crimes and other emergencies, drug and alcohol policies).
Based on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's most recent Crime on Campus report, in 2013 the University of Memphis had the lowest overall incident rate (crimes per 1,000 campus population) among the ten largest universities in Tennessee (5,000 or more students). This was the fifth time in the past seven years the UofM has earned this distinction.
The 2014 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR) is now available at http://www.memphis.edu/police/pdfs/securityandsafetymain.pdf. The report contains data for the University of Memphis Campus (i.e., main campus), the Lambuth Campus, the Millington Center, the Carrier Center, and the School of Law. The report can also be accessed at the University Police web site at http://www.memphis.edu/police/ by clicking the link "Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report." The report can be viewed and printed as a pdf file. A printed copy can be obtained at no charge at Police Services during business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM until 4:30 PM. Police Services is located next to Parking Services in the Zach Curlin Garage. A copy can be pre-ordered by calling 901-678-3848 during business hours and picked up anytime.
Additionally, each fall the University of Memphis reports crime statistics to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). The DOE collects and disseminates the crime statistics for all colleges and universities in the United States. The statistics can be found at http://ope.ed.gov/security/.
If you have any questions about the report, please contact Police Services at 901-678-3848 and ask to speak to Assistant Chief Derek Myers.

Dyer County Youth Leadership
 Students from Dyersburg High School, Dyer County High School and Christ Classical Academy completed the annual Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (COPE) at Camp Mack Morris. These 10 th graders found themselves in team building situations that challenged them mentally and physically.
Steve Guttery, Director of Leadership, said: "Most COPE participants don't readily see the need to be removed from their comfort zone to build a team until they complete the two-day event." The Youth Leadership class spent most of their time at camp in the woods learning to trust their team and how to work together. As they worked to complete a high ropes course, they began to realize they couldn't do any of the exercises without their teammates.
Youth Leadership also completed Ag Day at Curly Acres Farm and learned about row crops, large animal care and fiber. Anderson Farms provided a demonstration of a drone used to look at the far reaches of large farms and provide real-time video from up to 400 feet high and over a mile away.
Dyer County Youth Leadership is sponsored by First South Bank.

Dyer County Adult Leadership
The Dyer County Adult Leadership class also completed their team building COPE retreat at Camp Mack Morris.
Much like the Youth Leadership Class, the Adults were challenged by the outdoors, the elements and the trust and team building exercises. This retreat is what kicked off the 9 month leadership program.
Throughout the 9 months the Dyer County Adult Leadership class will study industry in Dyer County and our largest industry is Agriculture.
On Tuesday, October 21st the Leaders met with soybean and cotton farmers from Dyer and Lauderdale County and got a closer look at harvesting. Each Leader was able to get a first hand experience by riding in a cotton picker and a soybean combine.
