What is your leadership
philosophy?
Todd Borchardt, Choice Bank
▸ I have a sign in my office that says, " Work hard,
be kind, " and I really think that summarizes it well.
I believe if those two ingredients are in place,
success for you as a leader and your team will
organically follow.
Jordan Casto, 38
Vice president - business relationship
manager
 Lake Ridge Bank | Monona, Wis.
As someone who values investing in his
community, Jordan Casto wanted to have
a career in community banking. In addition
to his work, he served on the Emerging
Leadership Board at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Carbone Cancer Center,
where he's helped raised tens of thousands
of dollars. A cancer survivor himself, Casto
knows firsthand the importance of cancer
research organizations.
-Ben Kopnick
Sponsored by
Max Anderson, Honor Bank
▸ Leadership is removing barriers to others'
success while learning from those you lead to
grow personally and professionally.
Stephanie Schwilling,
Citizens Bank of Kansas
▸ Leadership is influencing and inspiring others by
discovering and fostering their unique strengths
and capabilities, encouraging them and consistently
adding value to their lives to create a stronger, more
dynamic team and community.
Jennifer Marantz, Bank of Springfield
▸ I believe in respecting the differences among
people, their way of thinking and their approach to
problem-solving.
FIS is committed to the future of
community banking and is proud
to support this year's emerging
community bank leaders!
Carolyn Watson,
Ambler Savings Bank,
▸ Act as though your work matters, even when
you aren't sure if someone is watching, because in
community banking, you never know who you may
be helping.
Who is your role
model and why?
CULTIVATE LEADERSHIP
The ICBA LEAD FWD Summit,
Sept. 18-19 in Kansas City, Mo., is
the premier educational event for
emerging community bank leaders.

Jessica Hart, Patriot Bank
▸ My aunt, Juanita. She is the first African American
tax assessor for Marshall County, Miss. She has
served four terms and will be retiring in December
of this year. She started as a tax clerk taking
payments for tags and property taxes in 1983. She
worked her way up and was elected because of
how she treated people prior to running for office.
Lacy Covarrubias,
Community State Bank
▸ My role model is my mom. Our career paths
are nowhere near similar, but she always brought
her best self to the table no matter how tired she
was or how much chronic pain she had. She isn't
afraid to launch into new endeavors or challenge
male-dominated professions. As a mother of
two daughters, I strive to do the same by not
bringing my work home with me, and setting an
example that women can be leaders regardless of
the industry.
Janis Vanderputte,
Shelby State Bank
▸ As small business owners, my parents modeled
a strong work ethic from an early age. They
instilled in me the drive to make a difference, to
do things that matter and to be accountable to
myself and to others.
Daniel Day, Bank of Montana
▸ My mom, dad and boss. They are all very
different people, but each are kind, strong,
work hard and consistently put others before
themselves. I am very lucky that I did not have to
look very far for people to admire and learn from.
Betty Campiz, Ponce Bank
▸ I have been blessed to work with great leaders
in my professional career, but all the lessons
learned from them pale in comparison to those
I have learned from my mother. She is the
embodiment of resilience and perseverance.
Despite traumas and [having] limited resources,
she managed to give me a life I am grateful for
and proud of. She is the reason I dream big and
the reason I know no difficulty is insurmountable.
