[{"type":"text","content":"CLEARFIELD, Pa., Dec. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Together, Michael Peduzzi, President and CEO of CNB Bank, and Angela Wilcoxson, EVP/Chief Commercial Banking Officer, have announced plans to launch a new bank division, Impressia Bank. Designed for women by women, Impressia Bank will be a full-service banking division of CNB Bank dedicated to the professional and financial development and advancement of women business owners and women leaders.
