Sturgis Bancorp has announced that Eric Eishen is retiring after 45 years of service.
The announcement of Eishen’s retirement marks the completion of a planned succession process that began in July 2022, when Eishen turned over day-to-day operations of the community bank to Jason Hyska as chief executive officer and Matt Scheske as president and chief operating officer.
Eishen, who retained the Sturgis Bancorp roles of president and CEO and added Sturgis Bank roles of executive vice president and chief strategy officer, is now retiring from all responsibilities with Sturgis Bancorp, Sturgis Bank and its subsidiaries.
Eishen began his banking career as a teller at age 15, serving in roles of increasing responsibility until he became president, CEO and a director of Sturgis Bancorp in 2002 and of the bank itself in May 2003.
