CNB’s Andy Tinberg Named CBAI’s 2025 Outstanding Member of the Year
We’re proud to share that Andy Tinberg, President/CEO of CNB Bank & Trust, N.A., has been recognized as the Community Bankers Association of Illinois (CBAI) 2025 Outstanding Member of the Year.
Each year, CBAI selects one individual who goes above and beyond in supporting community banking. This year, Andy’s leadership and dedication to innovation, education, and advocacy earned him this honor.
Leading Through Innovation
Andy has long believed that innovation is vital to the future of community banking. As chair of CBAI’s Innovation Committee, he has worked with fintech partners to identify solutions that help community banks compete and thrive. His leadership has provided opportunities for banks across Illinois to adopt technology that enhances customer experiences while keeping community values at the center.
“Illinois’ community banks are proving that innovation doesn’t require massive scale—just strategic focus, leadership commitment and a willingness to adapt,” Andy said. “As technology and customer expectations continue to shift, these institutions are well-positioned to stay relevant, resilient and rooted in the communities they serve.”
Dedication to Education and Advocacy
Andy’s influence extends beyond innovation. Under his guidance, CNB has been a top supporter of CBAI educational programs, with CNB staff consistently participating in training and leadership groups. CNB has also been recognized annually with the Patron of Community Banking Award
since 1996.
Andy is equally committed to advocacy. From attending CBAI’s Capital Conference and Call on Washington, to encouraging staff involvement on boards and committees, he ensures that CNB remains an active voice for community banking in Illinois and beyond.
Giving Back
In addition to his professional commitments, Andy supports the Foundation for Community Banking Scholarship Program, helping ensure future generations have opportunities to grow and succeed. CNB is one of just four banks to reach the Foundation’s Platinum-level of giving.
A Well-Deserved Recognition
The Outstanding Member Award is a testament to Andy’s unwavering dedication to CNB, his peers, and the community banking profession. We are proud to celebrate this achievement alongside him.
Congratulations, Andy, on this well-deserved honor!
