Mamou, La. –  JD Bank once again turned to the local business community to staff the branch management team, appointing a native of Southwest Louisiana to manage the Mamou Branch. President and CEO Boyd Boudreaux announced the appointment of Iota native and McNeese University graduate Andrea Chachere as Mamou Branch Manager.

“Andrea is a rising young star,” said Boudreaux. “She recently completed the Louisiana Bankers Association Leadership School as well as JD Bank’s Management Training Program and knows the importance of serving customers as a teller, commercial lender, or trust administrator,” Boudreaux added.

Ms. Chachere was a double-major at McNeese, receiving Bachelor of Arts degrees in Management and Marketing. She joined the JD Bank family almost four years ago and says she is proud to be part of the team of branch managers at Louisiana’s Community Bank. “I just love that we support the local community and that we are so involved in community activities at each of our 23 branches. JD Bank management also knows family is so important. You are allowed be a mom and a wife and a JD Bank employee and they value that,” said Chachere.

JENNINGS, La. – In February, the unthinkable happened to Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1058. Vandals stole the trailer where many of the veterans’ flags, banners and other valuables used for patriotic ceremonies are stored. The damaged trailer was eventually recovered by law enforcement, but the precious items used by VVA Chapter 1058 for events throughout Jeff Davis Parish, including the Fallen Warrior Ceremony, were lost forever.

“This VVA Chapter provides such a valuable service to our community, delivering gift baskets for veterans in local nursing homes, attending funerals in uniforms and always being there when asked. It is disgraceful what happened and JD Bank is honored to be able to replace the stolen,” “said Boyd Boudreaux, President & CEO of JD Bank.

JD Bank obtained a list of the stolen items from Chapter Treasurer George Conner and delivered a check for $5,000 to replace the items. “We’re so grateful to JD Bank for stepping up to help us,” Conner said. “Our veterans are all about continuing our public service and this made it possible for us to get back to helping our fellow veterans very quickly,” Conner added.
