Sterling Banks says farewell to Jorgenson after nearly forty years in

After an extraordinary 40-plus-year career marked by dedication, adaptability, and community involvement, Jan Jorgenson has announced her retirement from Sterling Bank, bringing to a close a professional journey that spanned five decades and countless changes in the banking industry.

When Jorgenson began her career, banking looked very different. Transactions were handled largely on paper, computers were just beginning to appear in offices, and concepts such as cybersecurity, digital records, and remote systems were still years away from everyday use. As technology, regulations, and customer expectations evolved, Jorgenson consistently stepped into new responsibilities wherever the organization had need, helping Sterling Bank through periods of growth and transformation.

Jorgenson’s career path reflects both versatility and commitment. She began as a teller and went on to serve in a wide range of roles, including Information Technology, Security, Human Resources, and Corporate Secretary. Few employees can say they have served across so many functions, locations, and operational changes over such a long period of time. Her institutional knowledge, steady presence, and reliability made her a trusted resource.

Beyond her work at Sterling Bank, Jorgenson has been deeply involved in the local community. She dedicated many years to serving the Barron Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations, helping strengthen connections between the bank and the communities it serves.

Sterling Bank expressed gratitude for Jorgenson’s decades of service and lasting impact. Her professionalism and commitment leave a legacy that will be felt for years to come. As she enters retirement, the bank and community extend their best wishes for a fulfilling and well-earned next chapter.
