“We must focus on creating capital, creating jobs, being pro
business, and on the fact banks are the economic generators that
build great cities,” Urrabazo said.
Urrabazo’s banking record has elevated him to a position of
influence in the U.S. banking industry. He is former chairman of
the board of the National Bankers Association in Washington, D.C.
and the Minbanc Foundation, which represents and supports minority
banks. He recently completed three and a half years of service as
one of only 14 community bankers from across the country selected
to serve on the FDIC’s Community Banking Advisory Committee. Among
his numerous recognitions are the 2012 Distinguished Alumni Award
from his alma mater, the University of Texas at El Paso, and the
Distinguished Service Award from the U.S. Department of Energy. He
has been called upon to testify before congressional committees and
in 2011, was invited to join a national panel discussion on job
creation by U.S. House Speaker John Boehner.
Urrabazo has played a significant role in TBA for more than a
decade beginning with a position on the board of directors followed
by positions on the Government Relations, Nominating and Convention
committees. Most recently, he served as treasurer and
chairman-elect of the organization, as well as a member of the
Executive Committee.
“We are very proud of Ignacio’s new role as chairman of one of
the most important banking associations in the nation,”
International Bancshares Corporation Chairman Dennis Nixon said.
“Ignacio has had a consistent history of trade association
involvement and political activism which will add great value to
his new role as chairman of TBA.”
Urrabazo joined Commerce Bank, a subsidiary of International
Bancshares Corporation in Laredo, in 1983. IBC is the largest
minority-owned financial institution in the nation.
