 Betsy Johnson has been with Forreston State Bank for 22 years and was most recently Executive Vice President, COO and a director since 2010. Johnson is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Graduate School of Banking (GSB). She serves on the Board of Directors of the Illinois Bankers Association and is a member of the GSB’s Banker Advisory Board.
