The Bank of Elk River was awarded the Institute’s prestigious Thank God It’s Monday™ Awards for demonstrating and creating a culture where people bring their best selves to work to make an impact on their customers and communities.
“It is an honor to be recognized as an extraordinary bank for the third consecutive year,” said John Babcock, President, CEO and Chairman of The Bank of Elk River. “We could not be prouder to receive three additional awards regarding our workplace culture and thought leadership. I believe these awards reflect our commitment to investing in our staff and providing a workplace where people can thrive. This is a true testament to our staff’s hard work and clear dedication to serving our customers and community.”
The Extraordinary Banking™ Awards were founded by Roxanne Emmerich in 2015 and highlight the vital, yet often overlooked, role that local community banks play in our economy. The Extraordinary Banking™ Awards recognize the best of what community banks offer not only locally, but nationwide.
“Community banks are the backbone of America: They are what keeps a community thriving,” said Emmerich. “When a community bank leaves a community, small businesses often struggle to stay, and jobs leave. Every robust community has a strong community bank that understands how to help that community thrive and grow.”
