Thank you Jack Lloyd, Honorary Chair for PTSCC's 13th Annual Caring Hearts Gala, February 16th

Thank you Jack Lloyd, Honorary Chair for PTSCC's 13th Annual Caring Hearts Gala, February 16th. BMO Harris Bank Market President, Jack Lloyd is a strong believer in community investment.

BMO Harris Bank Market President, Jack Lloyd is a strong believer in community investment.  Since his graduation from the University of Notre Dame, where he also played on the school's 1973 national championship football team, his goal was to become a hometown banker.  In a banking career now spanning 35 years, Lloyd has lived and worked all over the United States, returning to the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, where he was born and raised, joining BMO Harris Bank in Palatine in 2000.  As BMO Harris Bank Market President, Jack helps guide market growth in retail banking and oversees branch locations.

He and his wife Linda, along with BMO Harris Bank, believe in investing in the community.  Jack currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Harper College Educational Foundation, is Board Chair of the Northwest Community Hospital Foundation, and member of the Executive Council of Shelter, Inc.  Jack has won numerous awards, including 2009 Business Leader of the Year by both the Palatine Area Chamber of Commerce and the Rolling Meadows Chamber of Commerce. He has also received the Community Service Award from the Arlington Heights Park District, and the Distinguished Alumni Award from Rolling Meadows High School.

Jack and Linda believe in the work that the Palatine Township Senior Citizens Council does.  They show their support by being members of the PTSCC Heritage Society, which recognizes those who have made qualified donations to The Stokes Fund, the PTSCC endowment, or have included PTSCC in their final plans.   “You may be at a time in your life where you aren’t sure what amount to leave to charity in your will. Just start!  Include charitable giving in your will or trust, and then update them regularly.  You may be able to give more later,” Lloyd advises.  Thank you to BMO Harris Bank and Jack Lloyd for his outstanding support of PTSCC and the community and for being our Honorary Chair for this year’s fundraising Gala!
