TREASURER

Gabrielle is the manager of the Shipshewana branch Farmers State Bank and brings essential financial insight to the board. A dedicated mother of four, Gabrielle is highly involved in her community and an active member of the Rotary Club, where she channels her leadership and heart into meaningful service.

BOARD MEMBER

Kristen is a long-time community member, mother, and substitute teacher with a strong record of involvement in local education. She brings ideas that are either brilliant or completely unhinged—sometimes both—and has a knack for turning even the most ordinary discussion into a strategic plan…with a healthy dose of laughter.
