Ashley Dunford of Mount Vernon Bank & Trust Company successfully completed the Iowa Bankers Association Consumer Credit School, February 28 through March 4 in Ankeny.
The school is an intense one-week program sponsored by the Iowa Bankers Association. The purpose of the IBA Consumer Credit School is to prepare consumer credit personnel who want to broaden their consumer credit knowledge or who have not been exposed to formal consumer credit education, to serve effectively and profitable as consumer credit officers. This is accomplished by developing a better understanding of the consumer credit function allowing students to better meet the credit needs of their customers and serve their local communities.
Ashley has worked at the bank as a part time teller while she was a high school student at Mount Vernon. After graduation she attended UNI and earned a teaching degree. In August 2021, Ashley decided to change careers and become a full time banker by accepting the position of assistant cashier/loan officer.
