The Annual Star Awards celebrate the incredible Star Bankers who embody the values that define our organization: Agility, Caring, Community Commitment, Integrity, and Tenacity. These awards are a meaningful way to recognize employees who go above and beyond every day to make a difference for our customers, our team, and the communities we serve.
Nominated by Peers, Celebrated by All
The Star Awards are especially significant because the recipients are nominated by their peers—their team members who work alongside them and witness their dedication firsthand. This peer-driven process ensures the awards truly reflect the spirit of our team and the impact of their contributions.
Recognizing Our Core Values in Action
Agility - As a smaller, family-owned community bank, our uniqueness is our ability to be flexible, balanced, and accessible. Given our size and ownership structure, we can rapidly adapt to market and environmental changes. Key decisions are made 'at the table' in a steadfast manner. Our customers reap the benefits of this agility in experiencing less red tape that permeates larger banks and financial institutions.

We believe in treating each of our customers in the same manner we would want to be treated, and we strive toward achieving that goal every day. We actively seek to know and understand people.
