Member Profile

Chelsea Colclough’s career journey to CFO at First American Bank & Trust Company shows the lasting impact of early life lessons in trust and responsibility. Reflecting on her first job as a nanny for a local doctor’s family, Chelsea shares, “They trusted a 16-year-old with their children’s care... that responsibility taught me the importance of hard work, organization and the value of being dependable.” These values continue to guide her in her role, where she prioritizes connecting with employees across all branches, believing that small gestures of appreciation go a long way. Chelsea also embraces the advice of her first bank mentor, Dana Litman at Quantum National Bank (now HomeTrust Bank), to always be accountable and patient, knowing that “mistakes happen, but what matters is how we handle them.” Read more about the GBA Women in Banking Committee member, including the story of how she ended up winning a car on The Price is Right, in her GBA Member Profile.
