About Elizabeth

One of my first roles was in investment banking and my mother was a teacher, so to now be joining a bank started by educators is a beautiful full-circle moment.
'It is a privilege to be on the board of an organisation, and especially one such as Bank First, that is purpose and values driven.
'I look forward to serving our members, contributing towards a well governed organisation positioned for the future needs of our members, working with our CEO, executive and staff to ensure members financials goals and dreams are met.'
