🎉 Happy 1-Year Workiversary, Kelly!

This year marks an exciting milestone as Kelly McDonald celebrates one year with Grundy Bank.

Kelly joined the team as a Commercial Lender, where she spends her days helping clients, connecting with new people, and collaborating closely with her coworkers.

She brings both professionalism and positivity to her role, and one thing she especially enjoys is the fun, light-hearted atmosphere she shares with her team while still getting the job done.

Reflecting on her first year, Kelly shares: “My time here has flown by; I have learned a great deal in one year! My favorite part about working here is the continued sense of community and family-like culture within the bank!”

The supportive environment at Grundy Bank has made Kelly’s first year both meaningful and memorable.

Outside of work, Kelly enjoys spending time in her greenhouse, especially this time of year. She loves putting it to good use and looks forward to one day expanding to a larger greenhouse where she can grow vegetables year-round.

Congratulations, Kelly, on your first year with Grundy Bank—we’re so glad to have you on the team! 💚
