LARRY BRITEGAM JOINS ROSE HILL BANK IN NEW ROLE Longtime Salina banker Larry Britegam will join Rose Hill Bank in the newly created position of executive vice president and chief administrative officer. The recent announcement was made by Donald R. LacKamp, president and CEO of American State Bancshares, Rose Hill Bank’s parent company. A Salina native with a BA in Business/Finance/Accounting from Marymount College, Mr. Britegam has spent nearly four decades in banking in the Salina community, most notably as president of Sunflower Bank (Salina) and chief strategy officer at Bennington State Bank. Throughout his career he has been active in the community, both locally and throughout the state of Kansas, serving as a member and officer in numerous organizations. His extensive record of community involvement includes the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, Greater Salina Community Foundation, Kansas Wesleyan University Board of Trustees, Youth Sports Initiative, Kansas Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors, Salina Area United Way, St. John’s Military School, and the Salina Regional Health Center Board of Trustees, among others.
