[Congressional Record Volume 156, Number 153 (Monday, November 29, 2010)] [Senate] [Page S8241] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] TRIBUTE TO NORBERT SEBADEMr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Norbert Sebade as he celebrates his retirement after 43 years of extraordinary service in the banking community. Norbert is ending a career marked by outstanding community service and longstanding dedication to economic growth and development in the Black Hills through his numerous leadership roles in the banking field and beyond. Norbert began his banking career in Madison, SD, in the summer of 1967. He quickly distinguished himself as a leader in the industry. Norbert has served as the former President of First Western Bank Wall, former chairman of the board of First Western Bank Custer, vice chairman of the board First Western Bank Sturgis, former board member of South Dakota Bankers Association, SDBA, Insurance Services, former chairman of South Dakota Rural Enterprise, and an appointee to the West River Economic Development Coalition. Additionally, Norbert has focused his attention and energy on the well-being of his communities in other ways, serving as a trustee and former chairman of the Rapid City Regional Hospital, a trustee for the Black Hills State University Foundation in Spearfish, and a board member of the South Dakota Community Foundation. He retires today as the regional president of First Interstate Bank of the Southern Hills. I would like to thank Norbert for his commitment to South Dakota's communities and congratulate him on a well-deserved retirement. ____________________
