Behind every locally-owned bank is a Board of Directors representing the communities they serve. Alliance Bank is honored to recognize David Diener, Timothy Schreeg, and Ralph Widmer upon their retirement from the Alliance Bancorp Board. Together, they have a combined total of nearly 80 years of service to the Bank. All three Board members played an integral role in the merger of State Bank of Oxford and Peoples State Bank in 2005 to come together as Alliance Bank.

David Diener joined the Board in 1992. David spent his career as entrepreneur and local business owner and serves as a White County Commissioner. He and wife Stacey, reside in Monticello.
Timothy Schreeg and wife Pama reside in Rensselaer. Timothy provided fiscal and healthcare knowledge to the Board when he joined in 1997. Upon retiring in 2016, he had 35 years of leadership within Jasper County Hospital and Franciscan Health Rensselaer.
