Stephanie 'Steph' Dinger has a soft spot for entrepreneurs, especially since her family is full of them. Familiar with the hard work involved in starting a new business (she and her husband, Eric, have built and sold two of them — and are working on a third), Steph is a tireless advocate for Lincoln's small business community. As Vice President of Small Business Banking, and a UBT employee since 2013, she's dedicated to turning startups and small businesses into the major employers of the future.

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate with a bachelor's degree in business administration, Steph's advocacy for small business can only be matched by her commitment to the community she lives in. She serves on the boards of directors for NMotion, Downtown Lincoln Association, Bryan Health, and The Bay. She's also a TeamMates mentor and assists with United Way Fund distribution.
