We are proud to congratulate four Illinois bankers who recently completed the Graduate School of Banking Human Resource Management School!

• Stacy Fernstaedt,
• Katie Klingele, Byron Bank
• Nathan Youngblood, Blackhawk Bank & Trust
• Erin Guest, Hickory Point Bank

This program helps banking HR professionals strengthen their knowledge of talent management, organizational culture, legal compliance, profitability, and the future impact of AI in banking.

As scholarship recipient Nathan Youngblood shared, the program provided valuable insight into the business of banking and reinforced the importance of building and sustaining a strong organizational culture. He also highlighted the value of networking and exchanging ideas with HR professionals from across the industry to bring new strategies and perspectives back to community banking.
