INSBANK Celebrates Business Excellence with 10th Annual INSBY Awards in Nashville

INSBANK Honors Four Middle Tennessee Business Leaders at 10th Annual INSBY Awards

On September 30, 2026, INSBANK celebrated the 10th Annual INSBY Awards at the historic Belle Meade Winery, honoring four outstanding client businesses for their remarkable contributions to the Middle Tennessee business community. This prestigious event attracted clients, community leaders, and supporters who gathered to acknowledge the excellence and commitment of local entrepreneurs.

The INSBY Awards not only acknowledge business achievements but also play a significant role in supporting the Women's Business Center at Pathway Lending. This organization focuses on empowering entrepreneurs by offering resources to help them establish and grow successful businesses. As a primary beneficiary of INSBANK’s Philanthropic Fund, the Women’s Business Center benefits greatly from the recognition and support garnered through the INSBY Awards. This annual celebration thus helps extend opportunities for aspiring business leaders, emphasizing the bank’s dedication to community development.

Since their inception in 2015, the INSBY Awards have consistently recognized exceptional INSBANK clients who exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit. Criteria for this acknowledgment include job creation, innovative practices, and significant contributions to the local economy. Over the past decade, the awards have emerged as one of INSBANK's hallmark events, celebrating the businesses and individuals integral to Nashville's growth and success.

Jim Rieniets, President and CEO of INSBANK, expressed, "For ten years, the INSBY Awards have celebrated the entrepreneurs, innovators, and business leaders who help make our community stronger. We are honored to recognize these exceptional organizations and grateful for the impact they continue to make across Middle Tennessee."

In addition to recognizing the honorees, attendees enjoyed a unique element of the ceremony: the premiere of a short film produced by Reel Bank Media, INSBANK’s in-house creative team. Matthew Ferrara, Creative Director, commented, "The INSBYs perfectly embody INSBANK's culture of celebrating success and creativity. Producing these short films allows our remarkable clients to shine in unexpected ways, and we genuinely enjoy making them!"
