First State Bank's Employee Spotlight for May is Debbie Pitstick. Debbie is Compliance Support at our Geneva Branch. She has been with us since 2021. Get to know Debbie!

1. What do you like best about your role at FSB? - Knowing that my work truly matters. Every day is different, and I like the challenge of identifying risks, solving problems, and helping to protect the bank and our customers.
2. What advice would you give to new hires at FSB? - Focus on building strong relationships with co-workers and customers. Take time to learn the “why” behind the process, not just the steps themselves. Understanding why policies exist helps you make better decisions, think critically, and adapt more effectively to change.
3. What kinds of hobbies and interests do you have outside of work? - I love music and going to live concerts, from pop and hard rock to punk rock. My first concert was Rick Astley at Poplar Creek in 1987. I especially enjoy the big music festivals each year, where I can see 15 different bands in a single weekend. So far, I have seen approximately 182 different bands, with several of them multiple times. I hope to keep enjoying live music for many decades to come.
4. Favorite travel spot? - New York City. I ‘ve been there three times, and each visit has felt a little magical. Walking through Central Park, exploring SoHo, and catching a Broadway show have been some of the highlights.
5. Where would you like to travel to? - My bucket list includes Hawaii, Japan, and Europe
6. What has been the most important innovation you have witnessed in your lifetime? - The invention of the internet and rapid acceleration of technology. It has been incredible to see how far we have come and how much is now possible in everyday life. I am excited about the potential it will transform the world, in positive ways.

🏡🔨 First State Bank is proud to be the Premier Build Sponsor for Habitat for Humanity LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam Counties and this incredible new home project in Mendota!

Last night, members of our team attended the groundbreaking ceremony at the future build site, where our Chief Marketing Officer, Jan Phalen, had the honor of speaking on behalf of the bank.

We are excited to be part of this amazing opportunity to support our Mendota community and help build a home for a local family. Partnerships like this strengthen our communities and create lasting impact, and we are grateful to work alongside Habitat for Humanity to help make homeownership possible. ❤️🏠

We can’t wait to roll up our sleeves and get started!

At First State Bank, we love investing in the future, especially when it comes to our local students! 🌱

Our Human Resource Officer, Melissa Doll, recently had the opportunity to be part of the Junior Achievement program, helping teach students about renewable and nonrenewable resources. They explored maps to identify the natural resources in our region and had great discussions about how consumer choices impact the goods and services produced right here in our communities.

It’s inspiring to see young minds learning how their decisions today can shape tomorrow. Way to go, Melissa, for making a difference! 👏
