Skagit State Bank Elects New Board Member

July 2012

 

Skagit State Bank has elected Chad Fisher as a new member to its board of directors.

 

A lifetime resident of Skagit County, Chad was born and raised in Burlington where he attended both elementary and high school.  In his career, Chad has focused on commercial construction, most recently with his own company, Chad Fisher Construction.  Chad Fisher Construction has worked on notable projects for Alf Christianson Seed, FedEx Ground, Janicki Industries, Dri-Eaz and Camping World.

 

“Chad brings a strong background in development and construction to Skagit State Bank,” noted Cheryl R. Bishop, Chief Executive Officer at Skagit State Bank. “Many of our customers will benefit from that expertise on our board.”

 

“Skagit State Bank has such a strong presence in our community; they run their operation conservatively,” stated Fisher. “I have great respect for Cheryl Bishop, the board of directors and the many folks who represent the bank day in and day out, providing Skagit, Whatcom and Snohomish Counties great customer service!”

 

Chad finished with “at Skagit State Bank, you know who you are working with, you know decisions are made locally, and you can trust the outcome is fair and honest. I like the idea of working on a board where the focus is truly the customer.”
