These values dictate how we interact with customers day
to day. They are the underpinnings for our internal culture,
for the way we treat each other. And they are the benchmarks
for the types of people we hire. These values guide us in our
strategic planning,
and in the end, serve as the foundation of all progress.
What are they? Simply, our values are what allow us to remain
a community bank, while at the same time, offering big bank
services. They are the things we believe in. For instance,
we believe in the value of partnerships, in growing relationships
through a mutual understanding of financial needs and desires.
We believe in taking the time to notice the little things
that might make a difference in someone’s

financial future. We believe
in respecting our customers and our fellow employees, and respecting
what each person has to say. We believe in being a vital part
of the communities we serve. These values aren’t unheard of.
But what is noteworthy is that a financial services company
actually holds these values dear… and puts them into practice
every day.
So, as we head into unpredictable economies, fluctuating
markets, and world events that send indexes and indicators
plummeting, we know we can rely on the presence of our values
to sustain our momentum. We’ve built this company on them.
And their strength is unwavering.
