Hoosier Banker 45 The junior board of directors of Logansport Savings Bank held its annual meeting on May 15. The bank founded its junior board in 2019, but the board year was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bank created its junior board as a means of impacting area youth through encounters with local businesses and nonprofit organizations. The board consists of two juniors and two seniors selected by school administrators from all four area high schools – Logansport, Lewis Cass, Pioneer and Caston. The junior board meets monthly during the school year at the bank or at area businesses and nonprofits. Participating students learn how a board operates by voting and approving minutes and by speaking with government leaders and local representatives of businesses and nonprofits. Students also hone life and business skills including collaboration, networking and giving back to the community. HB can set your bank apart both in recruitment and retention. Beyond offering perks, talented professionals also need ample opportunities to advance within the organization, hone their skills or explore new areas of interest.
