Our guest on this episode of The Bolder Banking Podcast is Josh Thompson, VP of Business Banking with Clear Lake Bank and Trust in Clear Lake, IA.

With a unique start in the banking industry, Josh shares his journey from high school junior board member to his current leadership role.  He also discusses the bank's innovative task forces, the impact of attending the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado, and the importance of continuous improvement in community banking.  

Bolder Banking Scholarships are offered to co-sponsoring state bankers associations’ member banks exhibiting innovative approaches to serving their customers, communities and local economies. Banks can then designate the scholarship to an employee of the organization to attend GSBC’s Annual School Session.
