Mr. Weber of Downingtown, PA, joined ACNB Corporation and ACNB Bank on January 31, 2022, as Executive Vice President/Finance for the period until Mr. Cathell’s retirement.

Mr. Helt continued, “Mr. Cathell served ACNB Corporation and its subsidiaries, ACNB Bank and ACNB Insurance Services, Inc., as the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer since 2007.
