Haggard said he was proud of the recognition, especially for his employer - CNB Bank & Trust in Alton. CNB Bank & Trust has locations in Central Illinois, Chicago and St. Louis.
“We are one big team here,” he said of the CNB Bank employees in Alton. “We have many long-time employees. Every once in a while we lose somebody and sometimes they come back because they like it here so much. Community service is our main focus. We feel everybody who walks in here is treated as an important person. I believe the Alton and Riverbend area is definitely headed in the right direction after some rough years.”
Mark worked at a retail store through college and professionally for several years, then 14 years ago, he made the switch to banking.
“We have a lot of people here at CNB with a lot of great experience, who can counsel and always give advice,” he said. “Sometimes we do make dreams come true, but we are always looking in the best interest of the customer and ultimately the best for us in the community.”
