Changes have been made to the board of directors at Bank First.
An announcement from the bank says while two directors have retired, two new members have been appointed.
One former director is Michael Ansay, who started in 2010 before retiring in January of this year.
During his decade as chairman, Bank First CEO Mike Molepske says he provided exceptional strategic direction, steering the Bank through pivotal periods of growth and change.
David Sachse was the second retiree.
He also became a board member in 2010 bringing a wealth of experience in financial planning and analysis, internal audit, compliance, and acquisition structure.
Sachse finished his time earlier this month.
Molepske continues by saying that Ansay and Sachse have served on the Board with remarkable distinction, delivering invaluable guidance and steadfast support crucial to the Bank’s success.
During their tenure, Bank First significantly expanded its footprint across Wisconsin and experienced extraordinary asset growth, increasing from $832 million in 2010 to $4.2 billion today.
Two women have since been appointed to the board, including Mary-Kay Bourbulas, who will serve as a liaison between the Chairman of the Board and independent directors while serving as Lead Independent Director.
The other appointee was Erin Davis, CEO of a soybean processing company.
Molepske finishes saying Mary-Kay has consistently shown outstanding leadership, strategic vision, and a deep commitment to our values.
The Board has full confidence in her ability to lead us through future opportunities and endeavors.
We also warmly welcome Erin to the Board.
She brings experience and fresh perspectives that will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and grow.
