CHELSEA – The Board of Directors of CSB Bancorp and Chelsea State Bank recently announced leadership changes for Chairman and CEO John Mann and President Joanne Rau. In January 2021, Rau will become President and CEO, and Mann will remain Chairman of the Board.
“I am excited to begin this new chapter in my career,” said Chelsea State Bank CEO John Mann. “I am not retiring but beginning in January 2021, I will be working on a part time basis – two days a week! My title will be Chairman of the Board. I look forward to spending more time with my grandchildren and more time in the great outdoors with my wife. But let me make it clear: I will keep working. Indefinitely. As in one to five or more years. My health is good. My attitude is good. And I am very pleased and confident to have Joanne succeed me as CEO next year. She is a great leader and has an excellent team along with her.”
