Gratitude and Farewell: A Message From Timothy P. Geelan

As I am preparing to step down as CEO on March 31, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to the entire GSB community. It has been an incredible honor to serve this organization for three decades and I am immensely proud of all we have accomplished together.

To the Board of Directors and Corporators, thank you for your unwavering support, guidance, and shared commitment to GSB’s success. Your leadership has been instrumental in shaping the direction of this bank, and I am confident that the foundation we have built together will support even greater achievements ahead.

To the employees, you are the heart of this institution. Your dedication, passion, and commitment to serving our clients and communities have made GSB what it is today. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a talented and driven team.

Most importantly, to our clients, thank you for placing your trust in GSB. For generations, this bank has been a valued financial partner, and it is your confidence that allows this legacy to thrive. The relationships we have built with you are at the heart of everything we do, and we remain committed with the same dedication and excellence for years to come.

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue serving as a member of the Board of Directors during this transformative time. The rebrand marks the beginning of a bold new chapter, while the merger strengthens GSB’s foundation and opens the door to even greater opportunities.

Under the exceptional leadership and vision of my long-time colleague and friend, Kyle Eagleson, these initiatives will set the stage for a future that is brighter than ever.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this remarkable journey. The best is yet to come!
