Iowa Bank President: “ E xactly the Person W e W a n te d !”
Ray Hewitt, President of Clear
Lake (Iowa) Bank and Trust Company, employed his ag loan officer
through AGRIcareers.
“ Roger Walston has the specific
qualifications I was looking for,”
says Hewitt.

“The process was very effi­
cient for me.”
—Ray Hewitt, Pres.
Clear Lake Bank
and Trust Company
Clear Lake, Iowa
The independently-owned bank
has $60 million in assets and is lo­
cated in a small community where
farming is the major industry.
Hewitt wanted an ag-educated
banker with a depth o f training and
ag lending experience in a large
bank system.
Walston, now a Vice President at
the bank, grew up on a farm and
worked in ag lending six years at a
holding-company bank in western
Iowa. He has a master’s degree from
Iowa State University.

reers that I interviewed in person,
and within a short time he was here.
The process was very efficient for
me.”
Asked how things are working
out, Hewitt responded, “ Excellent!
Roger is a real gentleman. And he
didn’t arrive with any hidden skele­
tons in his closet.
“ He and his wife and children
have fit into the community beauti­
fully.”
W alston himself compliments
AGRIcareers on the way his avail­
ability was handled. “ They kept in
touch, and kept my name confiden­
tial until I released them to submit
it to a specific potential employer.

That was important to me.”
He feels his major skills are work­
ing one-on-one with farmers and
others in a banking situation. Also,
he is enjoying learning the value of
microcomputers in evaluating loan
files.
“ Mainly, though, I ’m a people
person! ’ ’ says Walston.
