As we celebrate the 45th anniversary of Plumas Bank, I am filled with pride in the journey we have taken and deep gratitude for those who have shaped it. What began as a community-driven vision in 1980 has grown into a trusted financial institution serving vibrant communities across northern California and northern Nevada. Our success is rooted in the strength of our stakeholders—clients, employees, communities, and investors—whose trust and commitment have made this milestone both possible and meaningful.
Community banks like Plumas Bank play a vital role in today’s financial landscape. We offer responsive lending, tailored financial solutions, and long-term relationships that grow alongside our clients. Our deep understanding of local markets allows us to invest in the people behind them—from multi-generational farms to commercial ventures that fuel economic vitality. Beyond banking, we support the arts, promote financial literacy, and partner with organizations that enhance quality of life across our regions.
This year marks a thoughtful evolution in our journey. We refined and formalized our Mission, Vision, and Values to reflect what we have learned over four and a half decades. We also expanded our footprint through the acquisition of Cornerstone Community Bank, strengthening our presence in Northern California and bringing our community first approach to new relationships and markets.
In this latest Corporate Citizenship Report, we build on the foundations laid with new initiatives including a leadership training program and continued technological innovation. Our purpose remains as strong today as it was in 1980: to strengthen the communities we serve. We are, and will continue to be, Here. For Good.
