During a recent Zoom meeting with directors, Cortland Bank s typically vocal board kept uncommonly quiet.
Bank president and CEO James Gasior reached out to members individually afterward to get feedback on some issues he was surprised they didn t comment on. Some were simply uncomfortable talking in the video chat and clammed up. It s just different today with virtual meetings, not being in front of somebody, Gasior said.
