Kai Schnitker, the President and CEO of The First National Bank of Arenzville, was recently awarded the 2024 Helen Baldwin Distinguished Service Award by Prairieland United Way.

The award was presented by United Way Board President Amy Quigg during their meeting on April 25. Quigg highlighted Schnitker’s service on the United Way’s Board of Directors, as a past campaign co-chair, and his ongoing service to their Advisory Cabinet. He was also recognized for his work with the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce, Jacksonville Kiwanis, the Ken Bradbury Foundation, and his time volunteering with area youth sports.

The Helen Baldwin Distinguished Service Award was developed in 1994 to recognize individuals who go above and beyond in their volunteer activities for the Prairieland United Way cause. This award was first given to its name sake, Helen Baldwin who continues to give to the United Way both financially and with her time.

Congratulations Kai! We are proud of his leadership in our bank and in our community!
