Congratulations Nancy Berg

$1,000 gift to honor 35 years of service

December 18, 2024

Today, we honor a very familiar face at First National Bank and Trust Company who recently celebrated a big milestone. Nancy Berg, Operations Specialists, is celebrating 35 years of service. In addition to an individual tenure gift, employees who serve more than 30 years with the bank receive $1,000 to donate to a charity of their choice, a donation that is made in their honor. Nancy has chosen Holy Family Catholic School in Arcadia, Wisconsin, an organization close to her heart and part of her personal and family story, and one that has made a multi-generational impact.

When asked what it meant to her to have this donation made in her honor, Nancy shared, “My choice stems from the years that I attended the Catholic school and the teachings and beliefs that were instilled in me during those eight years. I’m happy that I not only attended Holy Family School, but my children, Briana and Bennett, also attended from preschool to 8th grade. Now, my three grandchildren are currently attending Holy Family Catholic School. It makes me feel so proud to give back to a place that has been so important to my family and me.”

Holy Family Catholic School is located in Arcadia, Wisconsin, and serves children of all faiths from age three through eighth grade. The school emphasizes faith-based education, providing students with a unique perspective on how to perceive and interact with the world. In November 2009, the school moved into a beautiful new facility at 532 McKinley Street, which sits on the site of the former St. Stanislaus school building. This facility supports preschool through eighth-grade education, as well as K-8 CCD programs and confirmation classes. Holy Family Catholic School continues a proud tradition of Catholic education in Arcadia, with 125 years of history.

Reflecting on her career, Nancy said, “Working at the State Bank of Arcadia, now First National Bank and Trust Company, has been very rewarding. I’ve had the privilege of working with many wonderful employees and clients over these 35 years.”

Working in many roles at the bank, including bookkeeping, personal banking and operations, Nancy consistently demonstrated dedication and commitment, which continue to shine brightly. She added, “I’ve always enjoyed what I do in the banking industry, which has encouraged me to continue working. Banking has changed tremendously over the years, and it has been a great career.”

We are proud to celebrate Nancy’s incredible milestone and her generous donation to Holy Family Catholic School, which reflects her enduring values and commitment to her community. Thank you, Nancy, for your 35 years of service and the difference you continue to make both within and beyond the bank.
