At First Business Bank, we are fortunate to have many dedicated, long-serving employees who are driven to deliver client success. We're very excited for Peggy Stoop as she celebrates her retirement from First Business Bank after 23 years!

Peggy has been with First Business Bank since 2000 when we first opened our Southeast Milwaukee office. Over those years, Peggy made such a big impact on First Business Bank, her coworkers, and our clients. She retires as Vice President - Wealth Advisor but she has also held positions in operations, management, Commercial Banking, and more.

Peggy's service to our community is inspiring! She served on the board of Tempo Waukesha as Past President, volunteered with Waukesha County Community Dental Clinic, and belonged to the Waukesha County Estate Planning Council.

In retirement, Peggy plans to maintain her friendships developed over the years with her coworkers and clients as well as traveling and pursuing her hobbies as an avid gardener, reader, and crafter.

We wish you the best, Peggy!

In celebration for her upcoming retirement, we'd like to honor the significant impact Barbara Mccarty Conley, JD has made at First Business Bank and in our community. It's a challenge to capture the importance of her role at First Business Bank and the significance of her contributions to our community, but we will try!

Fifteen years ago in December of 2007, Barbara began working at First Business Bank as General Counsel/ Chief Legal Counsel, serving as legal advisor and resource to the Board of Directors, its committees, executive management, and all of First Business Bank’s business lines and shared services.

While serving on a nonprofit board, Barbara met Jan Eddy, who introduced her to Corey Chambas who, as it turns out, was kicking around the idea of hiring in-house counsel.

It was the start of a second career for Barbara, who had worked as a senior manager for 30 years at Associated Bank when she enrolled part time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School while still working full time in banking. She pursued her law degree after attaining a Master of Business Administration in Finance from University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business.

But Barbara's professional roles were only a fraction of her contributions as she tirelessly served on numerous nonprofit boards and committees over the years, making a lasting impact on our community at:

United Way of Dane County
Downtown Madison, Inc.
Madison Community Foundation
UnityPoint Health - Meriter
Meriter Retirement Services, Inc.
A Fund for Women
University of Wisconsin-Madison - School of Business - Dean's Advisory Board
The Business Forum Madison
TEMPO Madison
YMCA of Dane County, Inc.
Olbrich Botanical Society
Wisconsin Harvest, Inc.
United Cerebral Palsy
Wisconsin Business Development
Wisconsin Bankers Association
City of Madison Equal Opportunities Commission
St Vincent de Paul
Dane County Development Corporation

Please join our entire First Business Bank team to congratulate Barbara McCarty Conley, JD, on an exemplary career, complete with 45 years of meaningful and lasting impact on her coworkers and community. Thank you, Barbara!
