Independence Bank is excited to announce a leadership succession plan in Warren County, welcoming Travis Keller back to our Bank as President-Elect. Keller returns after spending more than 11 years with us as a Vice President and Commercial Loan Officer. He joined the Bank's community Board of Directors in late 2025 after serving as Chairman of the Board for both the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Authority. He will work alongside current President Brad Howard during the transition who has served in this role since 2009. Howard will transition to the role of Senior Market Advisor and Community Board Member in early 2027, at which time Keller will assume the role of Warren County Market President. The two will ensure that the Bank’s deep commitment to the Bowling Green community remains central to our mission. Please help us celebrate both Travis and Brad!
