Shelley Seifert, former COO of First Bank, has taken over the position of chairman and CEO.
Seifert will assume day-to-day leadership responsibilities and will also serve as CEO and president of FB Corporation, the holding company of First Bank. Former CEO Tim Lathe informed the board of directors in 2018 of his plans to retire in July 2019.
“Tim has done an outstanding job establishing a strong foundation of growth for First Bank and making substantial progress solidifying us as the bank of choice for family-owned businesses,” said Seifert. “I am honored to be his successor to continue to develop comprehensive solutions that help our clients achieve their long-term financial goals.”_x000D_
