MVSB recently marked the first anniversary of its North Conway office at 1468 White Mountain Highway. In recognition of this milestone and to express appreciation for the community’s warm welcome, the team selected the Eastern Slope Aviation Academy to receive a special donation supporting its mission to educate and inspire local youth about careers in aviation.
“In just one year, we are so proud to have grown to become a trusted partner to the North Conway community – connecting with local residents, businesses and organizations while providing banking services rooted in care and integrity,” said Jessica Ruel, AVP Branch & Business Development Officer. “We’re proud to celebrate this milestone by supporting the Eastern Slope Aviation Academy and their incredible efforts to open doors for local students interested in aviation.”
“The support of community partners like MVSB helps us continue providing hands-on learning experiences and mentorship for students interested in aviation,” said Ed Bergeron, Board Member of the Eastern Slope Aviation Academy. “Their contribution will directly support our mission to inspire and prepare young people for rewarding careers in the aviation field.”
The Eastern Slope Aviation Academy maintains a nonprofit education foundation that provides aviation education, mentoring and career opportunities for Mount Washington Valley and Western Maine students and residents. Through its programs, the Academy fosters curiosity, technical skill, and career readiness in aeronautical and aviation sciences.
Since opening in November 2024, MVSB’s North Conway branch has been proud to serve the Mount Washington Valley community, offering full-service banking, lending and financial guidance. The team looks forward to continuing to build strong relationships and support initiatives that help the region grow and thrive.
