Midland States Bank was recognized by the Illinois Bankers Association as a recipient of the Illinois Community Service Award.
This industry award honors three Illinois financial institutions that demonstrate a high level of service in their communities. This award recognizes the bank’s entire community service portfolio of projects, not just a single project.
“We’re honored to be recognized for our continued efforts to empower individuals and strengthen communities, yet we know this kind of impact doesn’t happen without the dedication of our people. This award is only possible because of our employees who actively show up in our communities on behalf of Midland, building trust, relationships, and brighter futures every day,” commented Jeff Mefford, Midland States Bank President.
Midland’s Community Impact Investment Statement (CIIS) serves as the foundation of its financial inclusion efforts. Through initiatives such as Financial Empowerment Booths, Community Partnership Days, and partnership-driven collaboration with local nonprofit organizations, Midland has provided ways to empower individuals to build stronger financial futures.
The award was presented at the Illinois Bankers Association Conference in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. To learn more about Midland’s community involvement efforts and services, visit https://www.midlandsb.com/about-us/community.
