Over 20 years, work family has stood by Cicona-Trudell
Life has thrown some big challenges at business relationship manager Cheri Cicona-Trudell since she joined North Shore Bank in 1999. In 2001, her first husband died in a car accident. And from 2014 to 2018, she battled breast cancer. Fortunately, she says, her “work family” has been steadfast in supporting her throughout everything.
“That’s what keeps me at the bank,” she says. “People ask me if I ever think about going somewhere else. But where am I going to go and find people like this who genuinely care about me?” Read more about Cheri’s career here!
