FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 4, 2024) – Sanibel Captiva Community Bank’s Rachel Kaduk has been named a 2024 Gulfshore Business 40 Under 40 honoree. The award recognizes Southwest Florida rising stars who have made a unique contribution through their careers and in their communities, as well as a commitment to enriching the areas where they live and work.
Kaduk joined the bank in 2020 as an interim loan operations specialist to assist with the Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program. She was instrumental in helping to administer the program, which resulted in the bank securing over 1,100 loans for businesses, independent contractors and nonprofits totaling close to $110 million and helping save nearly 10,000 Southwest Floridians jobs. She quickly earned a permanent position as a residential loan coordinator responsible for reviewing loan applications and preparing mortgage files for delivery to underwriting. This April, she was promoted to residential loan officer in the bank’s Bridge Branch location at 9311 College Parkway.
Kaduk has been heavily involved in the community for many years, dedicating countless hours to several local, nonprofit organizations serving Southwest Florida such as the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral, Guardian Angels for Special Populations, Southwest Florida Symphony, Chamber of Southwest Florida, Lee County Republican Liberty Caucus and Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Suncoast among others.
