Augusta, GA – Five SRP Federal Credit Union employees graduated from the October 2025 cohort of Augusta Technical College’s Banking & Finance Bootcamp, a 10-day continuing education course that equips students with foundational knowledge in the banking and finance industry.

 

Sponsored by SRP Federal Credit Union and other financial institutions, the bootcamp includes topics such as business math, banking basics, commercial banking, lending, business ethics, banking jobs and careers, and more.

 

SRP Ambassadors Patrice Bethea, Michael Clennett, Trevinte Dawson, Abel De Jesus, and Marley Sleister completed the program, where they enjoyed learning alongside professionals from fellow financial institutions.

 

Clennett, who works in SRP Federal Credit Union’s Community Development department, said the bootcamp exposed him to the vast potential for learning and growth within the finance sector.

 

“As the only non-banking SRP Ambassador at the bootcamp, it was great to meet and learn from others who work in the branches. They do incredible work supporting SRP members every day, and I gained valuable insight into their roles. I learned just as much from my colleagues as I did from the bootcamp itself,” said Clennett.

Williams and fellow members of SRP’s Financial Education team strive to serve members across all 10 counties with helpful resources.

 

“About two years ago, when I started in this role, the primary objective was to make sure each county was well-served,” said Williams, adding that attendance at her 2025 10-county initiative doubled from 2024.

 

Additionally, courtesy of SRP, Williams engaged with community members prior to each seminar through “Random Acts of Kindness,” assisting some back-to-school shoppers, grocery shoppers, and gas station customers with expenses.

 

“Our Financial Education team truly represents the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People,’” said Liz Ponder, Chief Executive Officer of SRP Federal Credit Union. “We are grateful for Tawanaca Williams and her colleagues’ unwavering dedication as they ensure communities across our field of membership have access to our educational resources.”
