Robin Dean, Southern Regional Deposit Manager, will be retiring on October 31st after 40 years of service to First Mid.

Robin began her banking career in 1983 in the Trust Operations area with Security Bank. She later moved into the brokerage area and planned trips for senior clients, which allowed her to travel to every continent, including Antarctica. In 1989, when Security Bank was acquired by Old National, Robin continued to plan travel and held the position of Marketing Officer before transitioning to Assistant Manager and then Branch Manager. When Old National was acquired by First Mid in 2015, she became the Southern Regional Deposit Manager through the rest of her career.

Robin says, “To say that this has been a wonderful career would be an understatement. For 40 years, I have been able to work with some amazing people. I am a passionate Rotarian and will be the District Governor of Southern Illinois – River to River in 2024. My career has afforded me the opportunity to send both of my children to college and now that they are off and doing amazing things, it’s my time to enjoy our little retirement home in Florida, continue my Rotary journey, and leave a giant impact on the world at large but particularly an impact on my grandchildren. Time is the best gift to give someone you love, and I plan to spend a lot of time with each of them.”

In lieu of a public celebration, Robin has chosen to make a donation to the Rotary Foundation.

Thank you for your dedication to First Mid, Robin. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy retirement!
