GOSHEN, IND. – Michael E. Schrage, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Centier Bank, is pleased to announce the promotion of Michel Alvarez to manager of the bank’s Goshen Branch, located at 1716 Elkhart Rd.

Alvarez joined Centier Bank in the spring of 2017 after serving several years in various roles in the banking industry, including a bank teller, loan specialist, and call center representative. She was promoted to Assistant Branch Manager in October 2017.

“I hope to continue to provide personalized banking services and guide our clients to financial success by meeting their needs,” Alvarez said. “I am especially excited to represent Hispanic leaders in finance in my community.”
