various civic organizations, local universities, and charities. As previously mentioned, the bank is a huge supporter of Texas Tech University. FirstBank has become one of the university’s largest corporate supporters, not only through financial contributions, but also employing Texas Tech graduates. Also, each year, the employees engage in a United Way campaign, donating a percentage of their salary to this organization. Weaknesses The bank’s major weaknesses are 1.) Generation gap, 2.)

The bank will need new and innovative ideas to solicit the younger generations. The bank’s aggressive growth over the past 5-10 years has caused a technological gap. The bank currently has too many different systems that do not communicate…
