Join us in welcoming our newest employees!
Welcome to #TeamMNB!
Meet Taylor Nelson!
We’re excited to welcome Taylor as a Universal Banker in Henry! Taylor is from LaSalle and currently lives in Henry and brings 7 years of banking experience to the team and she loves how banking is always changing and evolving, and how you don’t see the same thing every day. Outside of work, Taylor loves baking, reading, and spending time with her husband, Shawn, her son Jaxon and dogs Hemi and Capone. She has volunteered over 200 hours at St. Margeret's Hospital and is looking forward to getting more involved in the Henry community.
We’re thrilled to have Taylor as part of the #MNBfamily!
Meet Courtney Beeney!
We’re excited to welcome Courtney as a Customer Service Specialist, in Canton! Courtney grew up and still lives in Canton and brings 4 years of banking experience to the team. Outside of work, Courtney loves spending time with family and friends and caring for Finnigan, her 7-year-old Goldendoodle. For the past 10 years, she has volunteered with Red Dog, supporting Cystic Fibrosis fundraisers—a cause close to their heart. We’re thrilled to have Courtney as part of the #MNBfamily!
Meet Rene Ford!
We're excited to have Rene as a Personal Banker, in Canton. She grew up and went to school in Bushnell and later attended Carl Sandburg College. She and her husband, Daryl, have been married for 41 years, and together have 5 children and 8 wonderful grandchildren. She brings 12 years of banking experience to the MNB Team and stays deeply involved in her community through her work as treasurer of the Bushnell Chamber, a member of the Bushnell City Council, and a volunteer at many local events. In her free time, she enjoys quilting, fishing, gardening, and—most of all—spending time with her grandchildren. We’re thrilled to have her as part of the #MNBfamily!
Meet Nakoma Goodsell!
We're excited to have Nakoma as a Teller, in Canton. Nakoma is from Jacksonville, IL but has been in Vermont, IL for the past 5 years. Nakoma and her boyfriend Rylee have 3 dogs and 2 cats. She brings a year of banking experience to MidAmerica and truly loves the everyday interaction with customers. In her free time, she enjoys reading and sewing quilts. And in the summer, you can find her at Lake Jacksonville on her parent's pontoon or on the back of their motorcycle. We’re thrilled to have Nakoma as part of the #MNBfamily!
We’re excited to welcome James as a Trust Administrator in Macomb! He brings 7 years of banking experience to the team. One of his favorite parts about his job is talking about all kinds of different markets.
Outside of work, James loves spending time at home, in Rushville with his family, friends, and girlfriend, Kianna.
We’re thrilled to have James as part of the #MNBfamily!
