Favorite part about working for Champlain National Bank: It enables me to meet business owners and share their vision, and it gives me the tools to help them to make their long term goals a reality. A lot of businesses (both large and small) would have a very difficult time maintaining operations if it weren’t for the fundamental role that banks play as suppliers of capital, holders of deposits, and providers of solutions for financial intermediation. Along with accountants and attorneys, bankers are part of the indispensable professional services that businesses need, and that’s very rewarding and fun!
