People First Bank Welcomes Sara Spiva 

by peoplesbankdev | Oct 8, 2025 | Recent News

People First Bank is excited to share several leadership updates that highlight our continued investment in both our team and the communities we serve. 

We are proud to welcome Sara Spiva back as the new Branch Manager of our Madisonville Main Office. Sara is no stranger to Peoples Bank, having previously been part of our team. She brings with her a wealth of banking experience and is known for her strong customer relationships and active role in the community. We are thrilled to have her return to People First Bank.  

Customers will also be glad to know that Brad Hunt remains at our Madisonville Main Branch. Brad continues to 
serve customers while also taking on expanded leadership responsibilities, by joining the management team and will oversee Mountain Trust Mortgage. 

Additionally, we are excited to announce that Kari Phillips has transferred to our Sweetwater Branch. Kari has been a valued member of the Peoples Bank family for many years, and her move to Sweetwater will allow her to continue building strong relationships and providing exceptional service to our customers in that community. 

These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to fostering strong leadership within our branches and ensuring that our customers are served by people they know and trust. At People First Bank, we believe that Where relationships matter is more than a tagline — it is the foundation of everything we do.
