Congratulations, Owen
We’re proud to announce that Managing Director and Chief Lending Officer Owen Beacom recently was elected to become a board member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, a $73 billion wholesale bank, serves financial institutions that are involved in financing housing, jobs and growth. First Bank & Trust is both a customer of the FHLB Chicago and a shareholder.
Financial institutions, primarily banks in Illinois and Wisconsin, were allocated certain levels of votes. Owen modestly announced, “Even though I won the election, I am sure most of the votes were recognition for First Bank & Trust. First Bank & Trust has a well-earned, outstanding reputation among our competitors and peers. I want to thank everyone here at FB&T for doing things the right way, working hard and caring about each other and our customers. The results shine through, and in this case, I really benefitted greatly.”
We know that it’s also well deserved recognition for Owen’s outstanding reputation among bankers at the other member banks.
