North Dakotan Slated ICBA Officer

Northwestern Financial Review, Mar 15-Mar 31, 2004

Terry Jorde, president and CEO of CountryBank USA, Cando, N.D., has been nominated to be the Vice Chairman of the Independent Community Bankers of America. She will take the post at the organization's convention in San Diego this month.

Jorde has served on many ICBA committees, including service as the chairman of the ICBA's Services Network (the holding company over ICBA's for-profit subsidiaries), and as chairman of the ICBA Agriculture-Rural America Committee. She previously served on the ICBA Executive Committee as the national treasurer and on the ICBA Board of Directors. On the state level, Jorde has served as the president of the Independent Community Banks of North Dakota and was appointed to serve on the board of the North Dakota Department of Banking and Financial Institutions, a position she held for five years.

Jorde also has served on the Consumer Advisory Council of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and she presently serves on the FDIC's Advisory Committee on Banking Policy and on the national advisory committee of Fannie Mae.

If she advances through the executive officer positions as scheduled, Jorde would become the organization's first female chair in 2006.
