Independent Banker - April 2017 - 53

ILL USTRATIONS: RANDALL NELSON
Benjamin T. Nels on
Senior vice president, residential mortgage lending,
D.L. Evans Bank
Location: Burley, Idaho
Assets: $1.3 billion
What do you like
most about your job?
As a kid, I was taught,
" Leave everything a little
better than how you found
it. " Growing up, I realized
that this is more than
just a campsite rule. As a
community bank, we are
involved with our customers
and our community.
Our knowledge and concern
for them allows us to
make both our customers
and our community better
than how we found them.
There aren't many jobs
that allow you to experience
that anymore.
What value does
your bank bring to your
community?
In my town, you can't go
anywhere without seeing
a D.L. Evans bank logo. We
sponsor all kinds of activities.
You also can't go to
any event without running
into a fellow [bank] worker
who is heavily involved in
making it a success. If you
were to one day remove all
of this support, I doubt that
many of these good causes
would survive.
What do you like
most about the
community banking
industry?
We read stories all the time
about companies shutting
down plants or relocating
to save money. Each time,
they leave their town in
shambles. Not us. In our
industry, we are committed
to our communities. We
work hard to stay competitive
and provide the best
products and services for
our customers. Our dedication
allows our customers
and our communities
to grow. And, as they
grow, we grow, too.
It is a true win-win.
What value do
community banks
bring to the U.S. as
a whole?
We have all heard that a
chain is only as strong as its
weakest link. You can also
say that our nation is only
as strong as our weakest
communities. When you
have strong communities,
you have a strong country.
Thanks to community
banks and our focus on
serving and strengthening
where we live, we are
keeping our communities
healthy and strong.
And that makes
our nation
stronger.
" If you were to one day remove all of
[our] support, I doubt that many of
these good causes would survive. "
-BENJAMIN T. NELSON,
D.L. EVANS BANK
