Hebron Banker Appointed to National Council for Community Bankers

Hebron, MD – American Bankers Association has selected Jennifer A. Poulsen, President & CEO, Hebron Savings Bank, to serve on ABA’s Community Bankers Council. Poulsen attended the ABA Community Bankers Council meeting in Washington, D.C., November 11-13.

Bankers had discussions on next year’s Administration change and how the banking industry may be impacted; legislative priorities, including the farm bill and tax reform; and regulatory priorities, including national bank preemption, the Federal Reserve’s discount window, overdraft fees and Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Council members also had a chance to exchange ideas on ways to prevent and mitigate check fraud, manage net interest income and interest rate risk, attract and develop the next generation of bank leaders, and many other business and operations best practices.

“Community banks play such an important role in our banking industry,” Poulsen said. “This appointment gives me the opportunity to represent Maryland and advocate for the continued success of America’s hometown banks.”

The ABA Community Bankers Council, which meets twice a year, is made up of approximately 100 bankers across the country from institutions with generally less than $5 billion in assets. Members are appointed by the ABA chair. Hebron Savings Bank is an independent, state-chartered, FDIC-insured community bank headquartered in Hebron, MD, operating 14 full-service offices in Wicomico, Somerset, Worcester and Dorchester Counties.
