Arrowhead Community Bank Welcomes
Dennis Landauer in Business Development
Founding Arrowhead Board Member Joins Bank's Staff
GLENDALE, Ariz. - (June 26, 2007) - Dennis Landauer, a founding member of the Arrowhead Community Bank Board of Directors, is changing hats.
Not only has Landauer recently retired as managing director of RSM McGladrey (formerly American Express Tax and Business Services), but he has resigned his seat on the bank's Board of Directors to focus on his new role as Arrowhead Community Bank's new Business Development Executive.
"We look forward to Dennis's leadership in the area of business development," said Amy Lou Blunt, Arrowhead Community Bank executive vice president and chief credit officer. "During his tenure on the board of directors, Dennis proved to be invaluable as a leader of the board's loan committee as well as a referral source for the bank. As a long-time resident of the West Valley and well-known professional in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Dennis's sphere of influence is significant. His first-hand knowledge of our bank culture and products and services should support a seamless transition."
As Business Development Executive, Landauer will be leveraging his considerable skills and abilities as a local business leader and calling on professional contacts gained from 37 years as a certified public accountant to help grow Arrowhead Community Bank to new heights. Specifically, he will be developing new client relationships in the areas of deposit accounts, commercial and residential lending, and investment services.
"I'm an initial investor in Arrowhead Community Bank and have been with it since it was being organized in early 2000, so I have a vested interest in seeing it continue to grow and prosper along with the West Valley," said Landauer. "This bank has a great culture. The officers, employees and board members get involved and share their resources to make the community a better place to live and work. This culture makes my job that much easier, because businesses and individuals who are aware of Arrowhead's community involvement want to bring their business here."
A native of Schenectady, N.Y., Landauer has practiced public accounting for the past 37 years in both Denver and Phoenix. He specialized in accounting, tax, and consulting services to privately held companies and their owners. He also has significant experience in professional practices, including healthcare providers, engineers, insurance brokers, lawyers and entertainers as well as serving clients in manufacturing, distribution, construction, retail and hospitality
A graduate of the University of Denver, Landauer has a bachelor's degree in accounting. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Arizona Society of CPAs. He has taught seminars for the AICPA and the Practice Development Institute of North Texas University.
During his seven years on the Arrowhead Community Bank Board, Landauer was chairman of the board's Loan Committee. In the community, he has been a member of the Phoenix Serra Club for nine years and is a past president, treasurer and district governor. He was a director and treasurer of the Frances Moynihan Huger Foundation for five years, director of Catholic Cemeteries of the Dioceses of Phoenix for five years, including one year as chairman, director of the Central Arizona Estate Planning Council for one year and finance committee chairman at St. Thomas the Apostle in Phoenix for two years.
