Whitehall, OH – April 18, 2019 – Heartland BancCorp (“the company,” and “the bank”) (OTCQB: HLAN), today announced the promotion of Brian T.

On February 5^th, Heartland Bank held an Economic Power Breakfast at its Whitehall location and a 2019 Economic Forum luncheon at the Grand Event Center at Grandview Yard. Two events, back-to-back, provided for nearly five hours of intense market analysis with a bit of discussion on building rural prosperity.

2018 was an exciting year for Heartland Bank. Looking back over the past year, we can’t imagine not feeling extremely thankful for accomplishments that have been extraordinary – we extend a heartfelt “thank you” to our customers, associates and the communities we serve!

Heartland Bank is no stranger to celebrations, and we’ve had two big ones this year! It all started with a mid-year Billion Dollar Bash in the fall, and then on Saturday, December 8, the Heartland Bank family gathered at the Hilton Columbus at Easton for the 22^nd Annual Silent Auction and Holiday Celebration. Proceeds from the event are donated to several local charities.
