Join us in congratulating Elaine Dunbar on her promotion to Security Officer, as approved by the bank’s Board of Directors! Elaine is WGSB’s BSA and Compliance Specialist as well and is responsible for fraud and scam-related reporting. This promotion positions her as a central resource for bank staff and law enforcement, as we work together to protect our customers and the bank from fraud and security-related incidents.

WGSB management and the board feel very strongly that training and hiring from within is a win-win for all of us, and we couldn’t be more pleased for Elaine as she takes this next step in her career. Congratulations, Elaine!
