The Shining Star of the Year Award goes to an employee who has consistently displayed the core values of Astra Bank:

• Do The Right Thing. For everyone. Every time.
• People First: Always build lasting relationships that are beneficial.
• No Hypocrisy. Our words and our actions align perfectly.
• Earn Trust. Be open, transparent, and accountable – even when it’s uncomfortable.
• Teamwork. We are at our best when we combine all of our individual efforts.
• Flexibility. “The way we’ve always done it,” doesn’t automatically make it the right thing to do.

Excellent employees are the key to building a great organization. Without the determined effort of exemplary individuals an organization cannot flourish. Astra Bank seeks to reward these important individuals through our Shining Star Award Program.

Astra Bank is pleased to announce the hiring of Deron O’Connor as its Senior Vice President – Chief Operating Officer.  O’Connor comes to Astra Bank from Commerce Bank, where he served as Market President in Hays, Kansas.
