Earlier this year, the Milwaukee Business Journal honored North Shore Bank with a Diversity in Business award in the “Large Company” category. On August 11, the bank officially received the award in a special virtual ceremony at our Jackson Park branch. The event had been originally scheduled for March and was rescheduled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The award recognized the Jackson Park and El Rey branches in particular for their work supporting Latinos in the community, and the larger bank for our support of the Latino community.
