Affordable Housing Advisory Council Annual Report 2007 - (Page 9) “Local bank involvement is ver y important to the success of a community,” remarked David Nelson, senior vice president, First Fidelity Bank. “Not only does our bank provide a variety of competitive products and services to meet the needs of the community, our employees offer support and leadership through their involvement on various committees and boards.” From its projects to its people, there is a great deal of community pride in the Platte area. Residents understand that they must be willing to adapt, grow and change in order for the community to remain viable and improve. This attitude is reflected in the positive image por trayed by the community and evident to all who visit the Platte area. “You don’t have to live in Platte to appreciate its clean, friendly, small town atmosphere,” said Nelson. “I have had numerous visitors and acquaintances tell me over the years what a nice, progressive community we have and that we should be proud of it. That is the kind of advertising you can’t buy anywhere.” DECORAH, IOWA MAHNOMEN, MINNESOTA BROOKFIELD, MISSOURI ASHLEY, NORTH DAKOTA PLATTE, SOUTH DAKOTA DAVID NELSON SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FIRST FIDELITY BANK PLATTE, SOUTH DAKOTA 2007 Capital Communities Erin Freeberg, Marketing Coordinator FHLB Des Moines FHLB Des Moines designed its Capital Community Award in 2004 to acknowledge the creativity and accomplishments of a few of the many remarkable rural communities in our five-state district. Communities with less than 10,000 in population are chosen for the award based on growth and development efforts, outcomes and involvement by a FHLB Des Moines member. “The most rewarding part of my involvement with the Capital Community Award is recognizing the leaders of the small communities for their hard work and dedication and then providing them with resources to begin their next project,” commented Erin Freeberg, FHLB Des Moines marketing coordinator. “When I tell the community leaders that they have won the award, their excitement is contagious. An outside organization is paying attention and realizes what they are accomplishing.” 9
