Taylor welcomed the new role:
“As a retired banker of over 35 years, I know the formula for success revolves around taking care of the customer. There is no better model for this formula than the community banking model. Sturgis Bank shares the common belief: if you take care of your customers and employees, the community and the shareholders will prosper. I am excited to continue on in an expanded role with Sturgis Bank, as they continue to serve our local communities.”
Eric Eishen, President & CEO of Sturgis Bank & Trust Company commented:
