President Tom Whelan pro- moted Georgetown resident Sarah Grover to trust operations officer. Grover manages many aspects of the firm's operations, with roughly $1.5 billion under manage- ment for clients throughout the country. "It is a really good company to work your way up. I started as a teller and moved up, partially because a lot of it I wanted to do and also because I was recognized within the bank. Working for Bath Savings is like working for a nice little community within itself: it is supported, open to employee suggestions, recognizing accomplish- ments, and giving adequate rewards." Grover began her career at Bath Savings as a teller 21 years ago. She has received numerous teller promo- tions and then transitioned to Bath Savings' operations area. Grover was assistant manager for over 12 years and was promoted to operations manager in 2020. "I am one of those people that stays in a job. I was working from 15 to 21 years old at a small restaurant in Georgetown, and it closed. So, I needed something new, and I thought my family had been banking with Bath Savings forever, and they had an opening for a teller. I thought, why not apply," she says. Grover hopes to maintain a cohesive working unit between the operations and the administrative staff, and this is fun, has open communication, and delivers the best customer service possible. "Sarah's calm leadership and strong work ethic make her the perfect person to lead the operations team as [Bath Savings] continues to grow," says Whelan. "We are grateful for Sarah's many years of service and thrilled to recognize her hard work with this well-deserved promotion." Bath Savings has served midcoast and southern Maine since 1852. It has ten full-service banking offices located from Damariscotta to South Portland. Bath Savings was ranked No. 12 among the largest Maine- based banks in the 2022 Mainebiz Book of Lists, based on total assets as of June 30, 2021.
