Lori Verbrugge Announced Her Retirement From Huron Valley State Bank

Lori Verbrugge, Senior Vice President of Retail Operations announces her retirement effective May 31, 2019.  During her 14 years at Huron Valley State Bank, Lori was involved in many areas of the bank including Operations, Retail, and Administration, Human Resources, Compliance and Marketing. The Huron Valley community was also well served by her dedication. She served on the boards of Milford Business Association and Huron Valley Council for the Arts.  Lori also served on numerous committees and special projects over the twenty-five years living in the Huron Valley community. 

When a group of local businesses and community leaders recognized the need for a community bank that focused on and re-invested in the local economy, Lori was hired to carry out that mission.  As the first employee, she was instrumental in establishing the bank that was originally founded in 2005 on Main Street in Milford.  During her tenure at the Bank, she was instrumental in growing it from three employees to over thirty, one branch to two plus a Financial Center, and to over $150 million in assets. 

“We greatly appreciate Ms. Verbrugge’s years of dedicated service to the Bank,” said Lyle Tyler, Chairman of the Board.  “She has been an integral part of the bank’s growth and has provided valuable leadership and guidance throughout the years.”  

"Lori touched practically every area of the bank,” said Jack Shubitowski, President and CEO "Her skills, experience and knowledge have been a magic ingredient in our growth and internal culture. We wish Lori a long, happy and healthy retirement."

“This was a very difficult decision to make. Banking is in my life and Huron Valley State Bank is my second family.  I’ve spent more than 30 years in this industry and have accomplished so much including developing life-long friendships,” said Lori Verbrugge, “I am looking forward to joining my husband in retirement and spending time at our home in Northern Michigan.”
