Southern Bancorp hired Joycelin Randle as its senior manager for investor relations & stakeholder engagement.

“We are thrilled to welcome Joycelin to the Southern Bancorp team,” said Kenya Davenport, interim president of Southern Bancorp Community Partners. “Utilizing the support of partnerships and investments to create greater impacts for underserved communities is an important function of our mission. Joycelin’s extensive background and expertise in this field will be invaluable assets for our institution and the people and places we serve.”
