Karen L. Dorway, president of the rating firm, has a rare vantage point, having monitored the industry for more than two decades. “It isn’t surprising to those of us who watch the industry that ‘plain vanilla’ banks, those that didn’t get into risky investments or lending, are the banks that are still standing strong today. Norway Savings Bank has stayed true to its purpose of serving its community in a prudent and responsible manner.”
