Former Twins baseball announcer Dick Bremer shares stories from 48 years of broadcasting at the shareholder event hosted in late June by United Bankers’ Bank in the Twin Cities. The event featured an update on insurance trends, as well as a round of golf. The event also gave bankers an opportunity to meet United Bankers’ Bank’s newly-named leadership: President Jen Severson and CEO Jim Amundson. Both are set to begin their new roles in mid-July.
