2023 Chairman’s Report

The 2023 financial year has seen successful growth in our Community Bank as general financials have returned to more normal conditions after the challenges of the pandemic.

The Board would like to acknowledge and thank Jeff and the staff for a great effort in maintaining and growing the business through a difficult period. This has provided a solid base for opportunities as we go forward.

To state the obvious, the world we know is rapidly changing, particularly in the realm of technology as it effects our daily lives. Many people still find the online world a challenge, especially when the news is full of the latest scams and attacks on our privacy. In this context the Community Bank has proved to be a valuable service for people looking for personal face to face advice with respect to their interaction with the world of online banking and finance.

These services have confirmed the original purpose of establishing a Community Bank to provide local banking services was indeed a very worthwhile vision. Thanks to those original shareholders we have a bank with local community in its DNA

And thanks to our customers who make it possible to return a dividend to shareholders and provide a substantial amount of support to local community organizations.  The financial year saw a record amount of support for these organizations, as Jeff has detailed in his Managers’ Report.

A further contribution to the community has been the provision of several thousand free calico shopping bags as a way of minimizing the plastics in our environment.

We look forward to a bright future as we all, Board, Staff, Shareholders and Customers, build this business together.

Jim McDougall

Chair.
