Another Great Year for the Orrstown Bank Youth Advisory Council!

Shippensburg, PA   (April 15, 2010)– Crystal Stine, Marketing Associate II and Youth Advisory Council Chairperson is pleased to announce the successful completion of Orrstown Bank’s second Youth Advisory Council program. Orrstown Bank first developed the Youth Advisory Council program in December 2008 to gather information and feedback on banking from a diverse group of students belonging to the “Millennial” generation.



The advisory council, consisting of Shippensburg Senior High School students Mary-Carolyn Burt, Lauren Furry, and Arnela Zejcirovic, and Shippensburg University students Anna Kovanic, Scott Henry, and Jessica Rabuck, met once a month from September 2009 to April 2010. The group successfully completed various projects during their term, including: Money Journals, Peer Survey, Mystery Shopping an Orrstown Bank branch, and an Advertising Competition. This year the students were also given the opportunity to network with young professionals at Orrstown Bank and learn about basic banking and financial planning.

Mrs. Stine commented “Orrstown Bank is pleased to have had each of these outstanding students participate in this program. We look forward to implementing their creative and insightful feedback in future marketing, communication and account features that will directly benefit their peers.”
