Letter from the CEO & President
|
|
The writing of this annual letter always marks an important moment of reflection. It offers us the time to both celebrate successes and embrace change as GSB continues to grow and evolve. As we count down with anticipation to our 150-year milestone, we recognize the importance of welcoming transition without losing sight of what brought us here today.

Though this year opened with many stories of financial crises, we successfully navigated a difficult banking landscape. Staying true to who we are at our core, we supported our community by standing firm in the values that define our organization. We remained focused on protecting our clients, knowing that they look to GSB as the trusted steward of their financial futures.
