Service Anniversaries

You can congratulate your coworkers on their anniversaries in the comments.

“I can’t believe it has been 15 years already,” says Sales, Operations & Lending Support Manager and AVP Michael Ebbensgard. “Time flies when you are having fun and enjoy what you are doing. My time at NSB has been great, and my favorite aspect of my job is sales. My various positions over the years have allowed me to leverage my sales skills in different capacities. Plus, it has been fun to see the changes over the past 15 years, and it will be even more exciting to see the future of banking.”

And Sister Bay Teller Mary Blazer marks 5 years with the bank. “I enjoy working with the public and my coworkers. Every day is different,” Mary says. “And my boss, Dede Mickelson, is fabulous — the best part!”
