Long term Lake Shore's focus is to expand market presence in the Lake Shore Region by converting into a full service retail/commercial branch and secondly to develop a nationwide presence by focusing on the special needs of the 34 million deaf and hard-of-hearing in America. This second goal will be fostered by the active participation of Jim Meisser, who will be the nation's first profoundly deaf bank chief executive officer. Lake Shore's unique staffing model emphasizes collaboration, trust, empathy, and integrity.
