Country Bank Honors Dale Mazanec with 2026
President's Platinum Award
Country Bank’s highest employee honor recognizes exceptional leadership, service, and commitment to its core values.
July 8, 2026 – Mary McGovern, President and CEO of Country Bank is pleased to announce that Dale Mazanec, First Vice President, Asset Mitigation, has received the 2026 President's Platinum Award, the Bank's highest employee recognition, presented through its Above and Beyond Recognition Program.
Presented annually, the President's Platinum Award honors one team member who exemplifies Country Bank's Core Values of Integrity, Service, Teamwork, Excellence, and Prosperity and makes a meaningful impact on customers, colleagues, and the communities the Bank serves.
Selected from peer nominations, Dale was recognized for guiding customers through complex financial challenges with care, strengthening his team through mentorship, and consistently bringing the Bank's values to life in his daily work.
"Dale brings steady leadership and a sincere commitment to helping customers and strengthening our communities," said Mary McGovern, President and CEO of Country Bank. "He inspires those around him and represents the very best of Country Bank and the spirit of the President's Platinum Award."
Since joining Country Bank in 2014, Dale has built a distinguished career and was recently promoted to First Vice President, Asset Mitigation. Throughout his tenure, he has earned respect for his thoughtful approach to customer support, his commitment to mentoring colleagues, and his ability to lead with professionalism and care.
"Having worked for larger financial institutions earlier in my career, I truly appreciate what makes community banking different," said Mazanec. “Country Bank has created a culture where people genuinely care about one another, our customers, and the communities we serve. That culture is one of the reasons I am so enthusiastic about volunteering and giving back. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have had to grow my career here, help customers through what can be considered one of life's most challenging moments, and work alongside such an outstanding team. Receiving the President's Platinum Award is truly an honor."
"We are proud to recognize Dale with this well-deserved honor," added McGovern. "His dedication to customers, communities, and fellow team members embodies what it means to be a Difference Maker."
Beyond his role in Asset Mitigation, Dale lends his time and talent to local organizations and Bank-sponsored initiatives. His approachable, collaborative style has made him a trusted resource for colleagues and customers alike, reflecting the service-minded culture behind Country Bank's Difference Maker program. Dale serves on the finance committee for Springfield Partners for Community Action and his favorite volunteer opportunities are serving meals at the Friends of the Homeless or Ronald McDonald House or seeing the impact a team can make in a morning working with Revitalize CDC. “I really enjoy connecting with people and feeling the impact we make gives me great pride,” said Mazanec.
The President's Platinum Award reflects Country Bank's ongoing commitment to recognizing employees whose actions strengthen the Bank's mission and create a lasting, positive impact.
