Logansport Savings Bank welcomes new Junior Board members
Logansport Savings Bank (LSB) is proud to announce the start of its Junior Board program for the 2024-2025 school year, welcoming 16 exceptional high school students from all four county schools throughout Cass County. This initiative, now in its sixth year, continues to provide a hands-on, educational experience designed to foster leadership development, career exploration, and financial literacy.
The Junior Board program offers students a unique opportunity to engage with local businesses and community leaders through tours and presentations. This year, the students will visit eight local businesses and hear from influential community leaders, gaining insights into various career paths and the workings of successful enterprises.
In addition to these experiences, the Junior Board members will collaborate on research presentations focused on various other local nonprofit organizations. One of the commitments that the Junior Board students make is to give back through volunteering and community service hours that are tracked and then reimbursed by Logansport Savings Bank. The money earned from these community service hours is used at the end of the year to support one of the local nonprofits that the students presented on to their peers. This learning and volunteering initiative not only benefits the students but also strengthens our community by financially supporting vital local services.
“At Logansport Savings Bank, we believe in investing in the future of Logansport and Cass County,” said Chad Higgins, President and CEO at Logansport Savings Bank. “We are in the midst of an extensive, multi-phase construction project on a downtown campus that will support our commitment to growth in the future. The Junior Board program is a testament to that growth, as we develop our young leaders, promote financial literacy, and encourage them to consider career opportunities and pathways that would be available to them right here at home. We are excited to see the positive impact these students will make in our community this year.”
The LSB Junior Board is led by four senior students serving in an officer role:
- Keirsten Nies, President – Pioneer High School
