BACKGROUND ON MIBA President Curt Brumley Community Point Bank For nearly all his life, Curt Brumley has called the tight-knit community of Russellville, Missouri, home. Growing up in a small town where neighbors know and look out for each other fostered a deep sense of community in Curt and instilled in him the value of human connection and relationships. Curt’s parents taught by example and the many lessons Curt learned from them still serve him well today. As a young boy, Curt vividly remembers helping his mother with the grocery shopping. “We went to Jefferson every Saturday, and my mom would have us go to all three grocery stores there to shop their specials. She was strategic about grocery shopping and spending every dollar wisely,” Curt recalled. “Looking back on those times, my dad and I sometimes laughed and wondered if we were burning more gas by going to all three stores to buy the specials instead of getting everything we needed at one store.” During high school, Curt was president of six clubs, participated in many sports and excelled at baseball. His father just happened to be the principal of the school and spent time as a coach and teacher as well. One day, he sat Curt down before a game and said, “Don’t get a big head. This is a team sport. How you play the game will tell everybody how good you are.” Years later, that advice still sticks with Curt in similar ways. “When my board says, ‘Hey, you're doing a great job,’ I always reply with a ‘Thank you, but I've got 28 other people on my team who are working their tails off.’” It is important to Curt that the employees at Community Point Bank know they are valued members of the team. “I realized a long time ago I could not do everything myself. You must surround yourself with good people and give those people credit when they deserve it,” Curt said. Supporting the community is important to Curt. He has served on and been president of a number of nonprofit and school boards.
