MIB MISSION STATEMENT:

for community banks, while increasing value to our investor institutions.

Despite the social and personnel impacts of COVID-19 we are performing well. Our staff continues to be dispersed between MIB headquarters, our disaster recovery site, and work-from-home offices. The executive team takes the impacts of COVID-19 very seriously and continues to monitor regional and staff situations multiple times per week in an attempt to keep everyone, as well as our customer contacts, in a safe environment. This year will go down in history as a very unusual year for sure. I am looking forward to 2021 and seeing what the “new normal” will be for all of us. In the middle of September we converted to a new core, which most of you know


is a large undertaking. I am happy to say that our dedicated team worked very hard for many months to make sure that the conversion would run smoothly and it did. Our needs from a core provider are unique when compared to traditional community banks. We require more customization to produce the necessary reports for our organization and our customers. Community banking is very much a relationship business and seeing our


customers’ in-person has been kept to a minimum this year. We were able to host a few golf events and it was nice to be outside where we could see our customers and friends in a safe environment. Several banking associations also hosted similar events which has allowed us to stay somewhat connected to our community bankers. The banking associations are keeping us informed and educated with virtual conventions, but we are all craving the in-person events of the past. Next year, hopefully, could be the year for in-person events if we are able to get things back to normal or near normal. Our staff at our holding company and all of our subsidiaries (MIB, MIB Banc Services, LLC and First Bankers’ Banc Securities, Inc.) are outstanding and very dedicated to the success of our organization. Later in this magazine you will see fo r of these individuals highlighted: Sheila Noll (MIB), Trisharisha McCubbin (MIB, Inc.), Debbie Meyer (MIB) and Cheryl Boyer (FBBS). All four of these staff members have been employed for 20+ years with our organization. We are W re very lucky to have several long-term team members in our employment.
