Members held their first meeting of the year on May 3. Each committee member shared a brief update of economic conditions in their region, followed by updates from FDIC staff on current banking topics.

A graduate of Purdue University, Pilarski started her career in education before transitioning into banking 20 years ago, when she joined Alliance Bank. She represents her colleagues in Indiana and rural bankers from across the country on the 19-member committee.

“I am honored to be a voice for Indiana bankers,” Pilarski said. “This experience highlights the similarities of community banks across the country, while revealing how location and business models make us unique.”
