Paul Kilker is owner and president of GGS Information Services, a global technology company based in York. He is board vice chair and has served as chair of the audit committee since the bank's inception. "Paul has led with impeccable integrity, an inquisitive nature, a fair and collaborative approach, and a passion to do what's right, states Michael Kochenour, York Traditions Bank Founder & Chairman. His astute business savvy and knowledge of the tech industry has helped the bank manage potential risks and emerging threats, and stay apprised of current and upcoming technology trends. Paul believes that maintaining a strong culture is fundamental to success, and he has 'walked the talk' by taking every opportunity to engage associates and recognize them with positive feedback. Tim Kinsley is president of Kinsley Properties and vice president of Kinsley Construction headquartered in York. Serving the area's commercial real estate and development needs puts him at the pulse of the local economy across diverse industries. "Tim's insights and market intelligence have been instrumental in crafting successful approach to small- and medium-size business," President & CEO Eugene Draganosky notes. "The second generation of a highly-respected family organization, he has offered valuable perspectives on the bank's succession planning. Tim has a drive for performance excellence and accountability, and this mindset has helped build a strong foundation for future growth. As part of the bank's strategic succession plan, Eric Menzer and Kevin Schreiber joined the board in October 2018. Both Menzer and Schreiber bring many of Kilker and Kinsley's same qualities to the group. They each offer tremendous economic development experience and connections, strengthening the bank's efforts to continuously evaluate and meet the needs of the business community and its workforce.
