Membership to the PACB is by institution, however, it is the bankers who work within these banks that are the “heart and soul” of the Association.
PACB promotes a sense of family, community, friendship, networking and professionalism among the membership. The primary reason for being involved in the Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers is our emphasis upon banking as a profession, not purely a business.
One of the enduring characteristics of community bankers is that their passion for banking extends far beyond the profit-making marketplace. They are committed to the financial and social betterment of their customers, neighbors and communities. Community bankers are involved where they live and work through personal financial commitment, volunteerism, economic development and non-profit service.
