ALEXANDRIA, La. — Red River Bank has been named to Louisiana State University’s 2026 LSU100 list, marking the 12th time the Louisiana-based bank has received the recognition.
The LSU100 recognizes fast-growing companies that are owned or led by LSU graduates. The program also connects LSU alumni with aspiring entrepreneurs and provides opportunities for graduates to share business experience and guidance.
Red River Bank is led by two LSU finance graduates: President and CEO R. Blake Chatelain and Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer Bryon C. Salazar. The bank also employs LSU graduates in other roles across the organization.
“We are honored to be recognized on the LSU100 list for the 12th time,” Chatelain said. “This recognition speaks to the strength of our team and the dedication of our employees, who continue to drive our growth and success. As a Louisiana-based bank, we are also proud of the many LSU graduates who serve in roles throughout our organization. We appreciate LSU’s recognition and are honored to be included among this outstanding group of growing companies. Geaux Tigers!”
The companies’ official rankings on the 2026 LSU100 list are scheduled to be announced at the LSU100 Gala in November.
