July 19, 2023
Treynor, IA, July 21, 2023 - Judy Guttau of Treynor, Iowa, has received the honor of a 2023 Ovation recognition with the Iowa Women’s Foundation (IWF), a statewide tribute to Iowa women and girls. Guttau just recently retired after a successful forty-three-year career in community banking at TS Bank.
Steadfast, genuine, perseverance and tenacity are words to describe Judy’s approach to work, family and life. During her tenure, she planned and hosted over 500 educational, social and public relations events for the Statesman’s Club, clients and employees. She also serves in numerous organizations focused on education, faith and community development.
She and her husband, Mick worked side-by-side for years, growing the bank and riding the community banking waves. The culture they established over 40 years has jump-started the current generation with new opportunities to DO MORE good and IGNITE PROSPERITY®.
Ovation is IWF’s signature publication delivered annually through special unveiling events across the state. Family members, friends, colleagues, or community members nominate a woman or girl in their life that they wish to honor and celebrate. A private unveiling with family was held in June to celebrate Judy’s special recognition.
Each tribute in the publication offers a glimpse into the deeply important and enormously varied ways these women make an impact on their families, friends, communities and professions.
“For a decade, IWF has gathered each year to pay tribute and celebrate the women and girls of Iowa – their achievements, impacts, talents and contributions. They make this state a better place for all of us. Proceeds from Ovation contribute meaningfully to our ability to continue expanding the work of IWF through grantmaking, community building and advocacy,” shared Iowa Women’s Foundation President & CEO, Deann Cook.
“We at IWF feel so incredibly proud and humbled to recognize all the remarkable and truly deserving women we introduce you to in this year’s book. Judy – we are so happy to have you among our 2023 honorees. Your contributions to your bank, community and family are inspiring! We hope you feel the appreciation of your colleagues, family and community for all you do to serve others.”
