Jennifer and her husband, Max, have been married for 32 years. She lovingly refers to him as “Mad Max” because he is a hunting and bow-fishing fanatic. They enjoy spoiling their nieces and nephews and spending quality time having fun. When Jennifer is not working, she enjoys settling down with a good book. It is also important to her to learn something new every day. Her biggest hobby, though, is traveling. “I just love to get out and go — it can just be a dirt road I’ve never been down before. I will turn down it just to see what is there. I like the adventure,” she said. In closing, Jennifer had a few last words for her fellow bankers: “I would highly encourage bankers to use their voice and advocate for community banks. I know a lot of us are overwhelmed between family life and work, but even if you could find one or two things to put your voice out there, it’s going to help. I encourage everyone to be an advocate.” ■ Jennifer and Max Lawton April 23-24, 2024 Mark Your Calendar!!
