Jay discovered Heartland Bank in 2019, and Heartland discovered an incredible asset in Jay when he decided to bring his time and talents over to a community bank. Working in the financial industry since 1994, Jay had worked for five other institutions, most of those were “big” banks, before he found his home at Heartland.

The Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival (CBJF) presented by the Gahanna Convention and Visitors Bureau, takes place from Friday, June 17^th through Sunday, June 19^th in the Creekside Park and Plaza District (117 Mill Street) of Gahanna, Ohio. During this 23^rd year festival, 33 bands will perform over a 3-day span with 17 food vendors and 13 retail merchants.

Community banking is all about relationships, and not just with clients, but also between associates. With a solid associate foundation, Heartland Bank touts a family atmosphere and for good reason – associates find their place, are willing to go above-and-beyond and give their appreciation back in ways that are priceless to the bank. Matt Bucklew is one associate who will honestly admit that Heartland Bank changed his career path and even changed his life path.

Intentional is the word that comes to mind when referring to High Bank Distillery and their growth process in Columbus, and it also explains the core beliefs of two men whose friendship evolved and resulted in this successful distillery and restaurant. Jordan Helman and Adam Hines believe in purpose, and as the original founders of High Bank, they admit that every step of their journey has been well thought out and built on an uncompromised approach.  

Do you know people who have been in their current work position for five years, ten years or even longer? Longevity in the workplace seems to be a diminishing trait, but it does still exist within some organizations. At Heartland Bank, associate retention is a priority. With associates like Beth Miller, the task to retain personnel is somewhat easier as her light-hearted demeanor is infectious and inspiring to both newer and older associates.
