“Dave has been an invaluable member of the Public Policy Committee since 2015, including serving as our Vice Chair. His perspective as a community banker from Pinckneyville allows him to be an outstanding representative for bankers throughout Illinois,” said Dave Feldhaus, SVP, External Affairs, FHLBank Chicago. “His calm, pragmatic and unfailingly polite approach to public policy issues has been much appreciated. He will be a hard act to follow.”

“Dave has a selfless commitment to all community banks, the staff at FHLBank Chicago, and his fellow Board members. In his role as Chair of the Operations & Technology Committee, his knowledge regarding the needs of community banks is unmatched in helping us to better serve our members. His unwavering support for me and all of our employees will be sorely missed,” added Sam Nicita, EVP, CIO and Group Head, Information Technology.
