Barb Shull  |  Director  |  NMLS: 2177411





Barb Shull, a newly elected member of the FreedomBank Board of Directors, brings a wealth of diverse experience to her role. Before embarking on her banking career, she was an analyst for Medicare Reimbursement, a purchasing agent for a metal roofing and siding company, and a Controller for a food distribution company.

Originally from Waukon, Barb earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Iowa State University. Her journey in banking began in 2009, when she assumed the role of Deposit Operations Manager/Assistant Cashier. Over the years, Barb has honed her skills in various Deposit Operations areas, and in June 2021, she became a lender. FreedomBank's Board of Directors and management team recognized Barb's leadership skills, dedication, and expertise by promoting her to Senior Vice President and Executive Officer in May 2023.

"I believe that the role of community banks in rural Iowa is to invest in the well-being of the local area, engage in and assist with community development and growth, and empower individuals to meet their financial needs and goals," Shull said.

Recognizing the responsibility of her role, Barb is eager to learn and hear from the experienced directors. She stated, "FreedomBank values its employees and customers, and I look forward to helping our team and organization achieve future goals and objectives."

Barb actively volunteers in the community as a Waukon Chamber of Commerce Ambassador and a member of the Veterans Memorial Hospital Healthcare Foundation board. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, bicycling, hiking, and camping.
