Our CEO, Cathy Nash, is a dynamic leader and sets a positive and challenging tone for the bank. Stephen Covey’s quote reminds me of a phrase that she has repeated several times lately, and credits to the head of our Auditing Team, Lousie O’Connell: “We will always do the next right thing.” It’s a way of doing business that she expects the entire organization to believe in and accomplish every day.

I’m proud to work for an organization that espouses this kind of day-in and day-out integrity as the way to win, especially in this era of rampant mistrust in our banking system — fueled by the media, the government, and most importantly by the poor practices of many banks themselves.

Thanks,
Jim
