Long time BankWest employee Jason Smith will be stepping into the role of Branch Manager for the Pierre area. Smith has been with the BankWest organization for the past 27 years, previously serving as a Business Development Officer in the branch on Pierre Street. Prior to that he served as a Business Development Officer in the Kennebec branch.
“I’m very ready to move into the Branch Manager role in Pierre,” Smith said. “BankWest truly fosters an environment in which customers, communities and employees alike can achieve success.”
Smith’s promotion allows Regional President Andy Hubbart to focus on supervision of the Gregory, Kadoka, Kennebec and Winner locations. Hubbart said Smith’s prior experience within the organization will make him a great fit for the branch manager position.
“Jason brings a wealth of knowledge to this role,” Hubbart noted. “His background combined with his strong work ethic will help Jason lead our staff and advocate for the Pierre community’s continued success.”
Jason’s office is located at 420 S. Pierre Street in Pierre, South Dakota.
