While high school classmates were considering career paths, Alyssa Herman found her calling through an internship. She says: “I’d have to say that my interest began back then!  Once in college, I took my first finance class and then knew this was the career that I wanted!  I like the forward looking, planning, and visioning aspects that a career in finance/banking offers you!”

After graduating from Illinois State University in Bloomington-Normal, Alyssa worked for the university and, later, for a large, national bank. She chose to join INB because she liked the concept of having direct access to the bank’s executive leadership.  “Coming from a large financial institution where you did not have direct access to the decision makers, this was a real difference maker for me!” Today, she finds INB’s speed and nimbleness surprisingly refreshing.

Alyssa, a Certified Treasury Professional, is excited about her work in the community as she is with her job. She’s especially passionate about her work as treasurer for the Central Illinois Autism Association.  Alyssa also serves as board president of Peoria Country Care & Treatment of Persons with Disabilities. She is a board member of the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Easter Seals Foundation fiscal committee.
