Member Spotlight

Associated Bank is a Wisconsin-based bank providing a modern Midwest banking experience to individuals, small businesses and corporate and commercial clients. Associated Bank has been serving the Merrill area since 1964. Originally starting as First Financial, it was in 1997 when they became Associated Bank and adopted the well-known evergreen tree symbol, representing the company’s branches joining to share stability, strength and deep-rooted commitment to the growth of their communities. The Merrill branch is proud and committed to play an active role in helping our communities grow and prosper through volunteerism and charitable giving. Last year, Associated welcomed Jim Weix to the team, having over 20 years’ experience in commercial banking and lending.

A message from outgoing board member, Zach Kubichek

When I was asked to join the Chamber Board, I knew very little about the inner workings of a Chamber. Fast forward a few years and I have a much better understanding and appreciation for everything they do to promote new and existing businesses in our great city. Being on this Board, and volunteering for various events, has helped me meet a ton of great people that I otherwise would not have known.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Chamber Board and would highly recommend becoming a Board member to anyone who might be interested.
