economy and market activity.
He is regularly sought after by
CNBC, Fox Business News,
Bloomberg, Forbes, the Wall

“Knowledge and communication
are key to successful
wealth strategies. I wanted my
clients to go beyond watching
Sorrentino on TV to being
able to ask questions directly
to their Chief Strategist,” says
Conservative Financials’ Roger
Ford. The forum provided
clients, guests, and monthly

Resource Development.
in 2006 he was appointed the
11th President and Chief Executive
Officer of FCN Bank.
Mr. Wanstrath said that “under
Mr. Hildebrand’s leadership,
FCN expanded into the Ohio
market with the opening of
the Harrison branch office in
2007. This past year he oversaw
the opening of our newest
branch office in Connersville.
But perhaps his greatest accomplishment
as President
was directing FCN through the
worst economic recession since
the Great Depression. During
this time, the Bank remained
profitable, it maintained its
dividends to the shareholders
and it emerged with a strong
balance sheet and exceptional
asset quality. Due to his
leadership, FCN Bank today
is secure, well-capitalized, and
poised for continued success.”
After Dec. 31, Mr. Hildebrand
will continue to serve as
a director of FCN Bank and
FCN Bancorp.
The Board of Directors has
chosen Thomas D. Horninger
to succeed Mr. Hildebrand as
the next President and Chief
Executive Officer effective Jan.
1. Mr. Horninger has been a
resident of Brookville since
1998 and joined FCN Bank in
October of 2007 as the Chief
FCN Bank’s Art Hildebrand and
Thomas D. Horninger
Lending Officer. Mr. Horninger
is also active in many
organizations in the communities
that FCN serves.
Mr. Wanstrath said that “Mr.
Horninger brought his extensive
experience in commercial
lending and commercial finance
to FCN. During the past
nine years, FCN has not only
grown loans during this past
recession, it has also diversified
its loan portfolio by expanding
its commercial and commercial
real estate loan portfolios. He,
along with President Hildebrand,
Brookville has emphasized
sound underwriting practices
and maintained strong
credit quality during a difficult
lending environment.”
The Board of Directors of
FCN invites all who would like
to express their good wishes to
Mr. Hildebrand to a

Ivy Tech receives
UCB donation
Ivy Tech Community College
has received a $10,000 donation
from the United Community
Bank Charitable Foundation to
establish a scholarship fund for
high school students attending
the College’s Ivy Manufacturing
dual-enrollment program
that introduces students to
and prepares them for highdemand,
well-paying careers in
advanced manufacturing.
The $10,000 donation made
in September will establish
the Ivy Manufacturing Innovative
Scholarship Fund
to provide scholarships for
high school students attending
Ivy Manufacturing at
the Ivy Tech Lawrenceburg
and Batesville campuses. Ivy
Manufacturing introduces
students to the potential of
manufacturing-related careers,
sharpens their technical
skills, and provides soft skills
and professionalism sought
by local employers.
“United Community Bank
has long supported education
initiatives in Dearborn and
Ripley Counties,” said E.G.
McLaughlin, President/CEO
of United Community Bank.
“The Board members of the
UCB Charitable Foundation
saw that supporting the Ivy
Tech Manufacturing Innovative
Scholarship enhances this
support by collaborating with
the Ivy Tech Lawrenceburg
and Batesville campuses’ Ivy
Manufacturing dual-enrollment
program.”
In the Ivy Manufacturing
program, high school students
attend college courses on Ivy
Tech campuses and study
under the guidance of Ivy
Tech professors. They earn 24
college credits in Advanced
Manufacturing, Design Technology,
and Industrial Technology
program areas. The
program starts students on an
educational pathway through
Ivy Tech to earn technical certificates
and associate degrees
that can lead to high-demand,
well-paying manufacturing
careers.
Mark Graver, President of
Ivy Tech Lawrenceburg/Batesville,
said, “We sincerely thank
the UCB Charitable Foundation
for partnering with us to
help students prepare for their
future and ultimately have a
positive influence on our region’s
workforce and economic
development efforts.”
Manufacturing is vital to
Southeastern Indiana’s economy.
More than 14 percent of
residents in both Dearborn and
Ripley counties are employed
in manufacturing, making it
one of the region’s largest
workforce sectors, according to
StatsIndiana, Indiana’s public
data utility.
By 2020, one in six Indiana
workers will be nearing retirement
age, raising the turnover
rate in manufacturing to more
than 30 percent, a report by
Inside Indiana Business states.
A report published by the Indiana
Career Council estimates
that over the next 10 years
more than 60 percent of jobs
in Indiana will require postsecondary
education beyond
traditional high school. Currently
only 41 percent of Indiana
residents are predicted to
have a 2-year post-secondary
degree or more by 2025.
The Ivy Manufacturing
program prepares students to
successfully enter the workforce
to address this skills
gap. The program’s offerings
are strengthened by the new
Advanced Manufacturing and
Technology Center at the Ivy
Tech Lawrenceburg Lakefront
campus. (See UCB ad on Page 7,
