DIRECTIONS
For the past 25 years, CHB has called Wheatland, Wyoming, home. As you read in Kit’s cover article, working in a small town often means your business has a small-town atmosphere, and while our company is owned by a larger corporation, that environment of collaboration you find from a small business is still very much a part of our daily operations. However, because we are owned by a parent company, we have access to some powerful tools that have immense benefits for our clients and our employees. This fall, we are implementing one such tool. It’s an internal software system that will have a huge impact on our employees, but ultimately, it translates into greater productivity and service for our clients. SilverLake is a human resources program introduced by our parent company. It will provide our employees the opportunity to meet with their supervisors and discuss their goals for the next one, three, five, and 10 years, establishing steps to meet these goals. Furthermore, SilverLake will improve automation for our employees, reducing the time it takes for us to complete certain tasks and communicate with your clients. This will translate into better efficiency and productivity for our clients. Our staff will also have an increased opportunity to search for relevant data and utilize advanced financial tools. Our team is currently undergoing a training process, and it has come as a steep learning curve. This may mean slower response times and slowdowns with new loan production (temporarily), but we are confident our internal processing change will only have a positive impact on our clients. We’ve already seen how big of an effect it can have, and we’re excited about the opportunities it brings.
1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Set aside. 2. In a small bowl, combine apple cider and mustard. Set aside. 3. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tsp olive oil.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet, then add sliced apples, remaining salt and pepper, and rosemary. Cook for 5 minutes. 5. Return the chicken to the skillet and add apple cider-mustard mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, then serve sprinkled with rosemary! Gov. Mark Gordon Stops by C.H. Brown!
This July, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon spent a Tuesday morning with our employees at CHB. Gov. Gordon met with our credit, new loans, and account servicing departments learning about the nuances of CHB’s national-reach equipment financing business. Accompanying the governor was CHB founder Chuck
After 25 years in a small town, there’s not a day that goes by that we don’t learn something new. We’re constantly evolving and learning at CHB. Each new opportunity we’re given is a chance to grow! It’s our belief that this is one of the secrets to our longevity. Unless you can “change with the times” and learn new, more efficient, and more powerful ways of doing things, you will never create a lasting legacy.
Brown, who may no longer work full-time at CHB but whose influence continues to motivate our team today. It was an honor to host the governor for a visit, and our employees were proud to talk about their work. Unfortunately, we were all enjoying the moment and neglected to snap a photo! It’s on the list for next time. Stop by any time, Mr. Governor!
We believe this change will benefit the borrowers and brokers we work with, but if you have questions, please contact our team today.
