RBC Centura leaders attend Georgia trade mission to Canada
Rocky Mount, N.C., July, 2005 —
RBC Centura Bank's Georgia Regional President Drew Putt and
General Counsel Betsy Edelman represented the bank and the
state during Georgia's trade mission to Canada, July 26-28,
2005. Canada and Georgia are active trading partners, and
RBC Centura was the exclusive bank participating in the delegation.
"RBC Centura believes economic development is essential
to the economy of our region and the United States. And we
know that success in business, whether it's across town or
across the border, starts with relationships. So, we were
pleased to send two of our best leaders on this important
trade mission for the state of Georgia," said RBC Centura
CEO Scott Custer.
The trade mission provided the opportunity for Georgia Gov.
Sonny Perdue, state government officials and Georgia business
leaders to learn about important Canadian economic development
issues and to deepen existing relationships with Canadian
business and industry leaders.
It also gave RBC Centura a chance to introduce fellow members
of the Georgia delegation to colleagues at the parent company's
Toronto headquarters. RBC Centura is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Royal Bank of Canada, Canada's largest bank as measured
by market capitalization and assets.
RBC was one of the key stops for the Georgia delegation.
The financial services company hosted the state delegation,
RBC executives and customers, and business and community leaders
at the company's Tornoto headquarters for a luncheon meeting
featuring Governor Perdue and the Mayor of Toronto, David
Miller.
