In 1993, Weber was named president and CEO of Associated’s Southeast Wisconsin region, and in 2000, he was named president of corporate banking.
Since 2010, Weber has been serving in a senior business development executive role, addressing business development opportunities throughout Associated’s markets and advising leaders in the commercial and corporate banking division.
“Throughout his tenure, Gordy has shown an undying commitment to his many loyal clients and colleagues,” said Donna Smith, executive vice president, head of corporate banking at Associated Bank. “His leadership and accomplishments will remain with Associated and in the community far beyond his retirement.”

He also served on the board for the Greater Milwaukee United Way, served the United Performing Arts Fund Inc., and helped establish one of Marquette University’s first Urban Scholarships.
