MATTOON, IL — First Mid Bancshares, Inc.

First Mid also received an award for Professional Development, which celebrates organizations who focus on developing their employees’ careers and enable them to grow professionally.

We believe that a strong and inclusive company culture is the foundation of our success, and we’ll continue to nurture it as we move forward.
