HCI Monthly News & Updates
Message from our Board Chair


Hello friends!

I hope you are all well and ready for summer! June is a lovely month in Minnesota, although we are never surprised when the weather doesn’t behave! And we love to talk about it, too. 😊

For those of you who may not know me well, I work for F & M Community Bank in Preston MN and our little community bank turns 110 this year. I help publish our bank’s quarterly newsletter so we are in the midst of looking at old photos, reading submissions about how banking has changed over the years and reminiscing in general as we work on our summer edition dedicated to “Then and Now”. Five of our current staff members have worked for F & M for 39 + years. That’s a lot of knowledge and expertise rolling around this place. I think of how fortunate I am to work along side people with this amount of insight and experience, both at my workplace and at HCI. Last month, we said goodbye to Renee Zaiser as she begins her life in retirement. I know I’ll miss seeing her at Peer Group, listening to her advice and sharing her skills as a seasoned group leader. Wishing you well on your next journey, Renee! Feel free to reach out to her at 319-750-9132 or raz3553@aol.com.

I hope that your summer plans bring you sunshine and good times with your family, friends and club members!

Allison

HCI Board Meeting Moved to June 22 and 23

We have decided to conduct our Advisory Board meeting via Zoom, and have moved it up to June 22 and 23 to allow for decisions to be made sooner. This will help with the planning of the 2022 Peer Group conference which will take place in the Quad Cities February 21-25, 2022. Registration materials for Peer Group will be available in August.

Our Board members are PTOs, Partners and Bankers who have earned the confidence of the broad membership and HCI staff in their respective market segments. Each brings a unique perspective while representing their colleagues in each segment of our membership.

“The Heritage Clubs Advisory Board is a key component to guiding the future success for our organization.” HCI Executive Director, Ted Nelson

Thank you to our Board members for their commitment and contributions that benefit all of our members.

Renewal reminders will be sent on September 1, but you may renew your membership at any time.
