Brian Rieth appointed to Peshtigo National Bank Board of Directors

PESHTIGO – For 11 years, Brian Rieth has worked with Peshtigo National Bank (PNB) customers as they make decisions about their farms, businesses and futures. Now, he will help make the decisions that shape the future of the bank itself.

PNB has appointed Rieth to its board of directors and promoted him to senior vice president, senior lending officer. The appointment marks a significant step in his leadership at the bank, extending his responsibilities from lending to helping guide PNB’s long-term direction.

Rieth has specialized in agricultural lending, building strong relationships with customers and communities throughout his time at PNB. That experience gives him a firsthand understanding of what customers need from their bank and why the decisions made within a community bank matter beyond its doors.

“Brian’s appointment is about the leadership he has shown over the past 11 years and the confidence we have in him to help guide this bank,” said Kelly M. Heroux, president and CEO of Peshtigo National Bank.
“He brings agricultural lending experience, strong customer relationships and an understanding of the communities we serve. As we celebrate 125 years, we’re also making decisions about the kind of bank we want to be for the next generation. Brian will have an important voice in those decisions.”

Board service carries responsibility for the future of the entire organization. Rieth will bring his lending expertise, knowledge of PNB and customer perspective to the board’s oversight and planning. His promotion to senior vice president, senior lending officer also broadens his leadership within the bank’s lending operations.

“Working with our customers has given me a firsthand understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing local families, businesses and farms,” Rieth said.

“I’m honored to bring that perspective to the board of directors. As we plan for the bank’s future, my priority is to support thoughtful decisions that strengthen Peshtigo National Bank and preserve the personal service and local relationships our customers rely on.”

For PNB, the announcement comes in a milestone year of its own. As the bank celebrates its 125th anniversary, Rieth’s appointment places a leader with established customer relationships in a position to help guide its next chapter.
