Michalik named assistant VP
Parkvale Bank’s board of directors recently elected Janet E. Michalik, Masontown branch manager, as an assistant vice president. With more than 30 years of banking experience, she joined Parkvale in 2002 when the bank acquired the Second National Bank of Masontown.
Michalik’s duties include overseeing the daily operations and employees of a full-service bank branch. Her enthusiasm for programs designed to heighten sales and customer service has helped her employees earn numerous awards.
Thanks to Michalik’s leadership and team spirit, she recently became the leader of one of Parkvale’s seven charity teams. As leader of the Tri-Starz Team, which consists of employees from five offices in Fayette, one in Allegheny and one in Washington County, she supports the Fayette County Children and Youth Services (CYS). Under Michalik’s direction, the Tri-Starz will raise funds and contribute time and energy to make a difference in the lives of people who depend on CYS for assistance. She is also an active member of her local Kiwanis club.
Michalik earned an advanced business diploma from the Fayette County Area Vocational-Technical School.
