During the holiday season, Heartland celebrates many traditions and beliefs that accompany the diverse workforce of the Heartland family. Sharing and caring about each other is part of the Heartland culture, and why this time of year brings thoughtful recognition of the differences among us along with the celebrations we share. Check out a few holiday highlights with guest writings shared by several Heartland associates.

Reflecting over the past year is often the theme for many organizations at this time of year. As budgets are evaluated and strategies are analyzed, businesses have become accustomed to starting the new year based on the outcomes of the previous year. Heartland Bank is no exception, but the focus is not only on the bottom line, but also on the outreach, the milestones, the triumphs and the celebrations.

In recognition of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Heartland Bank and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) are reminding clients of practical steps to help safeguard their sensitive data and mitigate losses in the event of a data breach or compromise.

Thank you for your attendance at our 25th Annual Heartland Bank Community Foundation Charity Golf Classic in Columbus on September 19th!

Heartland Bank strives to create a culture and atmosphere that will attract talent and inspire associate retention. With a “family” atmosphere gained honestly as the helm has passed from father, Tiney McComb, to son and current president/CEO, Scott McComb, the bank is proud that its associates recognize this and value the camaraderie it creates. “I tell people all the time that we are like family at Heartland,” shared Gina Carfagna, mortgage banker at Heartland Bank.
