Each week leading up to our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we are sharing quotes from current and former Board Members that were featured in our 2024 Annual Report. Check out this week's quote from Former President, CEO, and Bank Board Director, J. Bruce Whittaker! "When we saw other banks going public and then disappearing, we didn't think that would be in the best interests of the community. The corporate structure we chose offered the best of both worlds: An opportunity to raise money and grow the bank while ensuring it would be there for the community with the same faces in the same places."
