My father worked at Peoples bank for many years. Mr. Usina was very forward thinking and promoted a woman to bank president in 1960. from the NYTimes article: "MIAMI (AP) — Miss Agnes Barber has changed her name since becoming a bank president, but she remains the only woman bank president in the Greater Miami area. She was named president of the Peoples First National Bank of Miami Shores in 1960 (be coming one of about a dozen women bank presidents in the United States. Today the number has increased to more than 100."
If I remember correctly Usina had 7 banks and 2 female bank presidents I think the other was Agnes Bell. 2601:583:601:5DF0:3D04:C61:B6BD:993B (talk) 23:22, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
