Starion Bank issued the following announcement on Nov. 20.

Starion Bank President Arnie Strebe has graduated from the Executive Development Institute for Community Bankers® (EDI), a rigorous 19-month leadership development program for up-and-coming executive officers of community banks. It is a program of the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado (GSBC).

Strebe was one of 11 community bank executives from around the U.S. to be recognized for completing the program, which combines hands-on leadership development training with sophisticated bank management strategies to position community bank executives for long-term success. EDI participants received expert coaching and mentoring by experienced bank CEOs, and completed a series of projects designed to improve their banks’ overall performance.

“The time and effort invested by these graduates to better themselves and their banks is significant,” said GSBC President Tim Koch. “Their communities should be proud to have leaders who are actively preparing for a successful future.”

Strebe joined Starion Bank in 2015 as chief human resources officer and in 2017 assumed the position of president. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education, and has additional graduate-level training in human resources. For more than 30 years, he has served in senior-level leadership positions at global companies in multiple industries and is a published author. Prior to entering the business world, he had a career in the U.S. Army as an enlisted soldier and officer.
