First Security Appoints Brad Sloter to Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of First Security Bank & Trust is pleased to welcome Brad Sloter as its newest member.

Sloter was raised in Charles City and left briefly to attend Coe College, where he received a bachelor's degree in business administration, and later, the University of Iowa College of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor.

In 2013, he returned to Charles City and began working as an attorney at Noah and Smith Law Office. At that time, he worked under Ralph Smith, a former partner of Noah and Smith and current member of First Security’s Board of Directors.

Sloter became a partner at Noah, Smith, Sloter, and Ellingson PLC in 2017 and has provided outside legal counsel to First Security since then.

“Working with First Security has been a pleasure because of the great people I’ve had the chance to work with over the years,” said Sloter.

“Welcoming Brad as our newest director was an important first step in our effort to diversify and strengthen our board of directors,” said Kurt Herbrechtsmeyer, Board Chair. “Many First Security employees already know Brad, not just through his work as the bank’s attorney, but because he’s a long-time customer. He brings valuable perspective, a strong risk management mindset, and legal expertise to the table.”

In addition to his work as an attorney, Sloter and his wife Makaila own and operate Iowa Title Realty Co., an abstract company based in Charles City. He is also an active volunteer. He currently serves as board member for the Charles City YMCA Foundation and has previously served as director and president of the Charles City Chamber of Commerce.

When not at work or volunteering, Sloter is busy with his young family and enjoying the outdoors.
