JOHNSTON, IA October 6, 2017  –  Tony Kaska, Midwest Heritage, Chariton, Iowa, has been named to serve a two-year term on the Iowa Bankers Association’s (IBA) Legislative Committee. The committee, comprised of senior level bank management professionals from across the state, is responsible for developing and guiding the IBA’s legislative and grassroots efforts.

“We’re pleased to have Tony Kaska joining the Legislative committee. His expertise and commitment will provide direction for the Association as it identifies and develops solutions for various policy issues,” said Sharon Presnall, senior vice president of government relations and compliance for the IBA. “The IBA is engaged in a wide variety of legislative issues and it is vitally important that bankers themselves set the direction for the industry because they are in the best position to understand how various laws, rules and regulations impact their banks, communities and customers,” said Presnall.

“I’m looking forward to sharing ideas from central Iowa through a well respected organization that has a direct connection to our statewide and federally elected leaders,” shares Kaska.
