Here at your local bank, we take pride in our people. Our ability to serve the folks of Guthrie County depends on dedicated professionals like Vice President Dale Behrends who genuinely care. Since joining GCSB in 2011, Dale has been an essential part of our team, using his deep-rooted experience in agricultural lending to help customers achieve their financial goals.
A Career Built on Service
Before stepping into banking, Dale dedicated 25 years to the U.S. government’s Farm Service Agency as a Farm Loan Manager and County Executive Director. His transition to GCSB came from a desire to stay local and continue his passion for supporting farmers and businesses without the demands of frequent travel.
In his role as Vice President, Dale takes pride in working closely with customers to help them navigate financial decisions and reach their goals.
On the Water and in the Stands
When Dale isn’t at the bank, you’ll likely find him outdoors or cheering on the fine athletes of Iowa State. A longtime resident of Lake Panorama, he has been an active member of the Lake Panorama Waterski Team for over 20 years—a passion that became even more special when his kids joined him on the team.
Dale and his wife, Laurie, are proud parents of three children, and while life stays busy, he still makes time for a few simple pleasures.
His go-to way to unwind: A glass of milk and Oreo cookies after a long day.
His most-watched movie from college days: Blazing Saddles.
His favorite place in Guthrie County: “Home.”
GCSB is fortunate to have Dale’s leadership, expertise, and commitment to community.
Next time you’re at the Guthrie Center branch, be sure to give him your best!
