A six-time recipient of U.S. Banker Magazine’s Top Women in Banking Team award, Hobrough was also named an “Industry Leader” by the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal for achievements in banking and leadership in the community. After being nominated by the City of Minneapolis for her work in co-chairing the West Broadway Alive! taskforce to revitalize the North Minneapolis corridor, Hobrough was named one of the “Top Women in Finance” by Finance & Commerce magazine.
