Premier Community Bank Celebrates 85th Anniversary
| Posted in Bank News
MARION, WI – Premier Community Bank is celebrating its 85th anniversary with a yearlong series of customer appreciation events, employee recognition efforts, and community-focused giving.
Beginning in March, all Premier Community Bank locations will host customer appreciation days on the last Friday of each month, featuring treats and monthly drawings for an $85 gift card to a local business. Branch teams will select and highlight local businesses throughout the year as part of the celebration.
To give back to their communities, each employee will participate in the $85 Pay-It-Forward program, receiving $85 to donate to an individual or organization of their choice. Employees also received commemorative items—including an anniversary pin and bag—during its All-Employee Training Day on February 16.
“This is a very exciting and important milestone to celebrate” shared Premier Community Bank President, Tom Pamperin. “We are here because of our customers, and we are grateful for them. We also could not do what we do without our Premier employees and their dedication to living our core values. We look forward to celebrating this year with the communities we serve.”
