PERKASIE, PA (June 2026) – Penn Community Bank proudly announced that CEO Jeane Vidoni was honored with the 2026 William S. Latoff Advocacy Award by the PA Bankers Association during PA Bankers Day at the State Capital on June 1. The award recognizes individuals who demonstrate excellence in advocacy as active policymakers for PA Bankers, outspoken champions for the banking industry, and committed supporters of the Pennsylvania Bankers Public Affairs Committee (PaBPAC).
“It is truly humbling to receive the Pennsylvania Bankers Association William S. Latoff Advocacy Award,” said Jeane Vidoni, Chief Executive Officer of Penn Community Bank. “I have long believed that community banking represents ‘Greater Good Banking’ in action — where financial institutions have both the opportunity and responsibility to strengthen the communities they serve. Advocacy is not simply about policy discussions in Harrisburg or Washington — it is about standing up every day for the customers, businesses, families, and neighborhoods that depend on strong, relationship-driven financial institutions. I’m proud to stand alongside so many dedicated bankers who continue to champion the vital role community banks play in creating opportunity, supporting growth, and building stronger communities across Pennsylvania.”
Vidoni currently leads PA Bankers’ federal government relations committee and, in this capacity, serves as a member of the association’s Advocacy Committee. Previously, she served as chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council and was appointed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to serve as president of the national CDIAC, where she provided insight on banking and lending conditions affecting the economy. She also actively supports PaBPAC and regularly participates in advocacy efforts and industry initiatives.
“Throughout her tenure with PA Bankers, Jeane Vidoni has proven to be an influential advocate for the banking industry,” said Duncan Campbell, President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Bankers Association. “From leading the association’s federal government relations efforts to engaging in important advocacy events, participating in legislative hearings, and educating policymakers on critical issues, Jeane truly exemplifies the spirit of banker advocacy.”
The William S. Latoff Advocacy Award honors the late William S. Latoff, former chairman and CEO of DNB First, National Association in Downingtown, who served as chair of the PaBPAC Board of Directors, a member of the PA Bankers Government Relations Policy Committee, chairman of the Nominating Advisory Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and a representative to the American Bankers Association’s BankPAC Committee.
