Sara and Stephanie at the gala.

Community engagement manager Stephanie Ruiz and universal banker Sara Speich attended the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 Awards Gala on March 10.

“This was my third year attending and Sara’s first,” said Stephanie, who has volunteered with the chamber since 2019, and is currently involved with the group’s Education & Mentoring committee and Small Business Council. “The gala had great turnout this year. It was amazing to see how many local businesses in attendance we knew personally through the bank, as well.”

North Shore Bank business customer Erin Zielinski of Vintage Grounds coffeehouse won an award that night, Stephanie added. “That was exciting to see! She also partnered with us to collect money for the Schmitt family house fire.”
