This morning, our team had the pleasure of visiting Chris Kern at Pinnacle Bank.

One of the key takeaways from our time together was the importance of hiring top talent who align with your mission and vision—and then truly empowering them to serve the customer well. When done right, this approach not only builds strong customer relationships but also leads to increased market share and higher profitability.

Throughout the year, our team has come to appreciate just how vital it is to have a banker you can trust. Financial success often starts with the right partnership.

Thank you, Chris, for sharing your insights and for being such a valuable resource!
