Lori A. Maley
President, CEO and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors
Bank of Bird-in-Hand
As president and CEO of the Bank of Bird-in-Hand, Lori Maley said her main responsibilities include working with the board of directors and the executive management team “to create and implement a strategic plan and direction for the bank, ensuring that all regulatory reports are properly filed with the appropriate authorities, as well as adherence to laws, and creating a culture of responsibility and fun, which has helped the bank to stay true to its roots and its mission statement as it services its existing markets and also expands into new markets.”
Maley said the biggest challenge in the past year has been guiding the bank “through a period of remarkable growth in a rapidly changing economic environment. Rising interest rates have affected banks across the nation and this situation has presented us with both challenges and opportunities. I believe that my focus on hiring ‘the right person in the right position who understands and embraces the culture of the bank’ has been my greatest contribution to the success of the bank in 2022.”
