Grand prize winner Wendy Pologe poses with her giant check along with VP Steve Arps, Élan representative David Wenzel, East Branch Manager Andrea Tadych, DM Craig Witz and VP Sue Doyle.

Five bank employees won some very nice prizes because of their hard work in our North Shore Bank credit card promotion last October and November.

East PB Wendy Pologe took the top honors. Wendy took in 14 applications, which resulted in eight new cards. For her excellent work, she won the grand prize of $2,500.

Four other employees each won a $250 Visa gift card. They are:

• Mequon Branch Manager Sandy Conrady
• Northland PB Kelly Kading
• Northside and Westgate Branch Manager Sara Luther Hagerman
• Fox Point SB Linda Settler

The sweepstakes were a North Shore Bank exclusive contest from Élan, and employees were entered to win the prizes once for each credit card application they took in that was successfully approved. All told, our branches took in 537 applications for new credit cards, 270 of which were approved. That’s 270 customer relationships enhanced. Great work, everyone!
