Wine, laughter, and gratitude filled The People's Social in Logansport on Tuesday, November 10, as friends, staff and loved ones gathered to celebrate Maureen Prentice and her remarkable 43-year career in banking.

The intimate celebration was an opportunity to reflect on Maureen's accomplishments, the relationships she has built and the lasting impact she has made on Logansport Savings Bank and the people who have had the privilege of working alongside her.

After 12 years with Logansport Savings Bank, Chief Operating Officer Maureen Prentice is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, dedication, friendship, and community service. “Mo’s dedication, hard work, and thoughtfulness have made a lasting impact at the Bank. We will miss her more than she knows!” said Rachel Rogers, Compliance Officer and team member.

For Maureen, the people have always been the most rewarding part of her career. That sense of family has been a defining part of her time at Logansport Savings Bank, where her influence can be seen throughout the bank, from its facilities and technology to its brand and team dynamics.

“Maureen’s fingerprints are all over what you see today in Logansport Savings Bank’s brand, facilities, technology, and workforce. Her legacy will continue after her retirement because she has made a positive impression on all 39 of our current employees. We are all going to miss having Maureen around but we are all so happy for her to be able to enjoy her retirement,” said Chad Higgins, President and CEO of Logansport Savings Bank.

Maureen is proud of what the bank has accomplished during her time at Logansport Savings Bank, particularly its commitment to the communities it serves. “I’m so proud of what we have accomplished over the past several years including all of the support that we have given to the communities that we serve,” she said.

Maureen began her banking career more than 43 years ago, building a wealth of experience in an industry that has continued to evolve throughout her professional life. She spent 24 years working in compliance, developing an extensive understanding of the regulations and procedures that help financial institutions operate responsibly. Her background in compliance and auditing ultimately brought her to Logansport Savings Bank.

Throughout her career, Maureen also contributed to compliance education and professional development across the banking industry. She served on the American Bankers Association Compliance School Board and graduate-level compliance faculty from 2005 through 2017, the ABA Bank Compliance Magazine Editorial Board for approximately 11 years, and the Indiana Bankers Association Compliance Committee from 2007 through 2014.

Her commitment to sharing knowledge and supporting others extended beyond her professional accomplishments. Throughout her career, Maureen emphasized the importance of continuing education, building professional relationships and seeking guidance when needed. “When in doubt contact your primary examiner. My examiners have always been helpful,” she said.

Her knowledge, experience, and willingness to share her expertise have made her an invaluable resource to Logansport Savings Bank and the broader banking community.

During her 12 years at Logansport Savings Bank, Maureen witnessed several significant milestones, including the remodeling of the main branch in Logansport, the construction of the bank's first branch in Peru and the celebration of Logansport Savings Bank's 100-year anniversary.

“I’ve seen so many great changes at Logansport Savings Bank including the remodeling of the main branch in Logansport and the building of our first branch in Peru,” she said. “I was also so happy that I was able to help with these projects along with celebrating our 100 Year anniversary.”

As Chief Operating Officer, Maureen's responsibilities extended beyond compliance, contributing to the bank's operations, leadership, and continued development. Her work helped support the institution through periods of growth and change while maintaining its commitment to the communities it serves.

Outside the bank, Maureen has also dedicated time to supporting her community. She served on the Cass County Y's Board and participated in community activities throughout Cass and Miami counties, reflecting her commitment to making a difference beyond the workplace.

Reflecting on her time at Logansport Savings Bank, Maureen expressed gratitude for the opportunity to finish her career at the bank that has meant so much to her. “I’m proud that I can retire from such a great place, it’s a great way to end a career.”

Amy Dillman, BSA Officer/Fraud Specialist and team member, shared a heartfelt message for Maureen as she begins her next chapter. “Happy Retirement! May you be proud of the work you have done, the person you are, and the difference you have made. Blessings to you on your next chapter,” Amy said.

For Logansport Savings Bank, Maureen's retirement marks the end of an important chapter, but her influence will continue through the people she has mentored, the knowledge she has shared and the bank she helped shape.

Logansport Savings Bank is grateful for Maureen's 12 years of service, leadership, professionalism, and friendship.

Congratulations on an incredible career and on your retirement, Maureen.
