Colleagues celebrated senior mortgage lender/internet specialist Sherry Leanna’s 20th anniversary with North Shore Bank earlier this month. She’s pictured above with a cake in honor of the event.

A mortgage lender since she joined North Shore Bank, Sherry worked in various positions for Security Bank for 20 years before coming here. When Security merged with M&I Bank in 1997, Sherry left, using her severance pay to take a year off. “Jim Dockendorff, a former loan officer at Security Bank, was hired as the department manager at North Shore Bank and called me up to see if I was ready to go back to work,” she says. “I’ve been here ever since!”

“Sherry is a great asset to the mortgage team and to North Shore Bank,” says her manager, VP and consumer lending manager Chris Boland. “Her dedication to providing top-notch service to her clients and bank partners is outstanding. Congratulations on 20 years, Sherry!”
