Chairman's Circle Profiles

Locally Owned & Operated, Alpine Bank has been a part of the
Western Slope of Colorado for over 35 years. With 35 convenient locations, we serve close to 100,000 customers with retail, business trust, asset management, mortgage, and electronic banking services.

Many of our employees and managers have been with Alpine Bank for 10 years or longer. This dedication allows us to build long-term customer relationships. In fact, much of our original Board of Directors are still with us, including Chairman Bob Young.

Because we are not a national banking chain, we have the ability to be flexible in creating solutions for customers that do not fit your typical approach. Our size and streamlined organizational structure enables us to react quickly to the needs of our customers.

We understand the important role we should play in our communities. Alpine Bank’s financial commitment to the community is substantial, and our employees give generously of their time and talent.

The City of Grand Junction is a full service municipal government organization providing a broad range of services for the citizens of Grand Junction. The organization, which employs approximately 675
people, both full and part-time, is comprised of seven departments: Public Works and Planning, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Utilities and Streets, Economic, Convention and Visitor Services, and Administration. Services provided by the City of Grand Junction are primarily funded by sales and use tax revenues, fees, property taxes, and grants.

Grand Junction was founded in 1882. In 1921, the citizens of Grand Junction voted to employ the Council-Manager form of government, which became popular in the early part of the 20th Century. This system combines the political leadership of elected officials with the managerial expertise of an appointed, professionally trained, local
government manager. The members of the City Council are elected by the citizens of Grand Junction to make policy decisions and laws, similar to a board of directors in a private company. The City Council members select a Mayor from amongst themselves each year in May

Wells Fargo is a diversified financial services company dedicated to helping its customers – individuals and businesses – succeed financially.

Since opening its doors in 1852, Wells Fargo has operated in a decentralized fashion so every local Wells Fargo store – including the Grand Junction area stores – is a headquarters. Led by Dean Massey, Western Colorado regional president, and Steve Irion, Community Banking president, Wells Fargo’s 200+ team members serve customers through six stores in Grand Junction and Clifton.

Equally important is Wells Fargo’s commitment to do its part to maintain the Grand Junction area as a dynamic, vibrant place to live, work and do business. To that end, Wells Fargo provides monetary contributions, employee volunteers and in-kind donations to a
wide range of community organizations in the areas of arts and culture, civic/environment, community development, education and human services. In 2009 alone, Wells Fargo contributed more than $300,000 to local nonprofit organizations and the company’s
team members volunteered hundreds of hours.

Some of the organizations Wells Fargo supported in 2009 include Community Hospital, Downtown Development Association, Grand Junction Economic Partnership, Grand Junction Musical Arts Association, Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado, Latin
Anglo Alliance, Mesa State College, Museum of the West, Riverside Task Force, St. Mary’s Hospital, United Way, Western Colorado Business Development Corporation, and Western Colorado Center for the Arts.
