Olinger to retire from Freedom Bancorp

Freedom Bank announced that President and Co-Founder Eric Olinger will retire from his role and transition to an advisory role.

In a Facebook announcement, the company thanked Mr. Olinger for his years of service.

“Though it took many people to transform Freedom Bank from an idea into an organization, Eric was the first to dream up that idea and has remained a driving force behind its realization for the past 25 years. Without Eric’s dedication and expertise, the bank certainly would not be as successful as it is today. His unparalleled professionalism and ambition have made him not only a successful loan officer but a model leader. From graduating from the University of Evansville and the Wisconsin School of Banking, to opening Freedom Bank and becoming the President of Freedom Bancorp, to serving on the St. Louis Fed’s Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council, Eric’s career has been marked by numerous impressive accomplishments, and his retirement is well-earned.”

Though he will be missed around the office, Eric will continue to support Freedom Bank and its next leaders from an advisory role on the bank’s board. From all of us at Freedom Bank, we would like to thank Eric for his years of dedication and steadfast leadership and wish him an enjoyable retirement
