As president and CEO, Lisa works tirelessly to make sure every employee knows how much she values each of them and is ready to help each one grow, achieving whatever goal they have set whether personally or professionally.”
Arnold joined Home Bank in 1985 and has served in positions including branch manager, vice president of retail banking, chief operations officer, and now president and CEO. She is a past president of the Indiana Bankers Association Future Leadership Division and a current member of the IBA Board of Directors.
