Jackie Kaczmarek Assistant Branch Manager

We call Jackie our, “Jackie of All Trades” because, well, she can do anything. As the Assistant Branch Manager, she helps clients open checking & savings accounts, CD’s, IRA’s and more. And she’s superb at aiding with account reconciliation so customers know they can always count on her to answer questions. She’s also essential in the day-to-day running of the branch, assisting the teller line with deposits, withdrawals and important reports.

And she’s always extended her “all trades” life philosophy to sports, too. In school she played basketball, volleyball, softball, ran track & field, swam and even kicked the soccer ball. Jackie is still always moving!

Jackie became a Lakesider in 2017. She began at our Michigan Avenue branch, moved to Elmhurst, was promoted and helped open Oakbrook Terrace. She was promoted again and is now back at Elmhurst. Her educational background is in business and finance.
