Sally Snyder Smith, a long-time member of the Board of Directors of New Tripoli Bank, has retired from the Board after 27 years of service.
Sally Snyder Smith, a long-time member of the Board of Directors of New Tripoli Bank, has retired from the Board after 27 years of service.
“I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished as a Director. We’ve expanded our footprint without losing sight of our community, and I’m glad to have continued my family’s legacy,” said Smith, reflecting upon her tenure with New Tripoli Bank.
Mrs. Smith was appointed to the Board in 1998 following the retirement of her father, Carl D. Snyder, and was named Secretary/Treasurer of the Board in 2004. She was the fourth generation of the Snyder family to serve on the Bank’s Board of Directors.
“I worked with Carl Snyder for many years before Sally joined the Board. I couldn’t ask for a more intelligent, insightful person to have succeeded him,” said David R. Hunsicker, Chairman of New Tripoli Bank’s Board of Directors, “Sally helped us mold New Tripoli Bank into the strong, independent community bank that we are today.”
Sally is a graduate of Northwestern Lehigh High School, Kutztown University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and Lehigh University, where she earned a master’s degree in Elementary Education. She worked for many years as an elementary teacher for Parkland School District and Northwestern Lehigh School District.
Sally has been involved in many local organizations: bookkeeper for the Pennsylvania German Society, Grundsau Lodsch Nummer Ains, and the Ebenezer UCC Cemetery Association. She was also the secretary and treasurer for the Snyder-Lehigh Farms Partnership. Sally served at Ebenezer UCC as a Sunday School teacher, Vacation Bible School Coordinator, Youth Group Leader, and Sunday School Superintendent, in addition to her membership in the Church Consistory.
Currently, Sally serves as the President of the Board of Trustees for the Lynn-Heidelberg Historical Society. She is co-owner of the Olde Homestead Golf Club with her husband Glen Smith, whom she married in 1973. Together they have three children, Jarrad, Justin, and Sarah, as well as four grandchildren, Wyatt, Norah, Reese, and Colin.
New Tripoli Bank has donated $11,000 to Cetronia Ambulance Corps, a 501(c)(3) organization which provides emergency medical services (EMS) to Lehigh County residents and non-emergency medical services to surrounding counties. This donation is part of New Tripoli Bank’s continuing support for the Corps’ mission to provide EMS, transportation, education, and health and safety resources to the communities we share.
New Tripoli Bank President and CEO John M. Hayes commented, “Our communities are experiencing more issues of affordability, which is why it’s more important than ever to fund organizations like Cetronia Ambulance Corps to help Lehigh Valley residents access emergency services.”
Cetronia Ambulance Corps is one of the largest providers of ambulance services in Eastern Pennsylvania, employing 210 professionally trained and dedicated employees and volunteers from the community. As the regional leader in EMS, Cetronia Ambulance Corps boasts a fleet of 47 vehicles and fields over 47,000 calls annually, covering an emergency service area that spans across 130 square miles, and a non-emergency coverage area that encompasses five counties. They also provide emergency response training and education programs for groups, businesses, and individuals.
"We are honored to be able to serve in a community with so many great partners including New Tripoli Bank,” said Robert Mateff, Sr., Cetronia Ambulance Corps CEO, “Our lifesaving mission would not be possible without the support we receive. We are grateful for their generosity and commitment to the first responders in the region."
On Wednesday, February 11th, employees from New Tripoli Bank headed to Emmaus High School for a workshop with the Future Business Leaders of America Club. Presenters included Karen Hantz, Consumer Lender, Christine Pierce, Mortgage Loan Officer, and Michelle Vineburg, Vice President/Compliance Officer. Our employees discussed topics relevant to the students' professional development including career paths, job interviews, paychecks, and avoiding scams and fraud. Students were encouraged to participate in open discussion and ask questions from professionals who have years of experience in the workforce.
We want to thank all the members of the FBLA who joined us for this workshop, especially students Diya and Jeanne who had reached out to the Bank to set up the workshop and teacher Geoffrey Laird for helping facilitate the event. We look forward to meeting with them again for another workshop in the future and expect great things from them in their future careers!
New Tripoli Bank’s Board of Directors has approved the promotion of Jennifer Moyer to Vice President of Deposit Operations and Christine Pierce to Officer/Mortgage Lender.
“Jen and Christine are both tremendous assets to the Bank, our employees, our customers, and our shareholders,” said John M. Hayes, President and CEO of New Tripoli Bank. “These well-earned and rightly deserved promotions reflect all of the contributions these two employees have made over the years.”
Jen Moyer joined New Tripoli Bank in 2004 as a Teller, holding many additional roles over the years including Assistant Head Teller, Data Operations Specialist, and IT Specialist. Jen was promoted to Assistant Vice President in 2019 and became the Bank’s Deposit Operations Manager in 2022.
Christine Pierce was hired by New Tripoli Bank in 2021 as a Universal Teller. In 2022, she moved to the Loan Department as a Mortgage Lender handling residential mortgage and consumer loans at the Bank’s Buckeye Office.
New Tripoli Bank returned to Roberto Clemente Charter School in January for another round of financial literacy presentations for their 3rd grade classes. Michelle Vineburg, VP-Compliance Officer, and David Malafarina, Social Media/Marketing Specialist, presented on topics including the basics of personal finance, the importance of saving money, and avoiding scammers. Students participated in activities to test their knowledge and joined in reading a book about saving in order to learn more about the topics discussed.
In addition to other learning tools/resources the Bank provides, we were pleased to include copies of two children's books authored by one of our other employees, Michelle Jones, for their classroom library. We would like to thank Cory Snyder, Elementary Principal, for inviting us, as well as teachers Joel A. Wasel, Caitlin Makoul, and counselor Lauren Zielinski for helping to facilitate our community outreach interactions with the students. We remain committed to providing financial education to students of all ages and thank Roberto Clemente Charter School for inviting us to come speak to their students.
New Tripoli Bank donated $11,000 to the Northern Valley EMS, Inc. (NOVA) in recognition of the important role the organization serves in protecting the health and safety of the communities they serve. John M. Hayes, New Tripoli Bank President and CEO, presented a check to Jason J. Breidinger, NOVA Public Relations Co-Chair, and Kristie Wentling, NOVA Executive Director, at the Bank’s New Tripoli office on Monday.
“NOVA plays a critical role in the safety of our community, and our donation shows the Bank’s faith in the service their employees and volunteers provide,” said Hayes. The Bank has shown its support for NOVA for many years through annual donations to their organization.
NOVA provides non-profit emergency medical services to North Whitehall, Washington, Heidelberg, and a portion of Lowhill Townships and the Boroughs of Slatington and Walnutport, serving more than 45,000 residents of the Lehigh Valley. They operate year-round, 24-hour ambulance services as well as providing emergency response training and education programs to volunteers in the community.
New Tripoli Bank has donated $25,000 to the East Penn School District Education Foundation to support approved educational needs in the District. These funds, which were supported by the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit program, will help the Foundation award grants for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math programs at schools throughout the East Penn School District.
A check for $25,000 was presented by John M. Hayes, New Tripoli Bank President and CEO, to members of the Education Foundation at New Tripoli Bank’s Buckeye Office. He presented the check to John Hemak, EPSD Education Foundation Treasurer and New Tripoli Bank VP and Commercial Lender, Kristen Campbell, Ed.D., EPSD Superintendent, Dr. Joshua Levinson, EPSD School Board Member, Jacob Reynolds, EPSD Education Foundation Director, and Dayne Buttafuoco, EPSD Director of Community Relations.
New Tripoli Bank is proud to have funded the EPSD Education Foundation for many years, as part of its continuing mission to support the community. This donation will be used to support EITC-approved programs that might not otherwise receive the necessary resources, furthering the Foundation’s mission to support STEAM education.
