Community National Bank was chartered in 1987, organized by a shareholder group that included Phil Eastep, Chairman, Dan Mildfelt, President and CEO, and Mike Mitchell a local Chanute businessman. Dan Mildfelt moved to Chanute from the Kansas City banking environment to become President and CEO of Community National Bank in 1991. The bank's emphasis on excellence in service, strong support of local needs, superior account and lending products, and a passion for community service have been cornerstones in serving our growing customer base. Community National Bank's management, directors and employees have exemplified leadership roles and dedication to the local schools, 4-H groups, scholarships, community cultural events and other civic activities in each community that they service. The energies and financial resources from Community National Bank have oftentimes been the driving force in the success of many community activities.
