Amber Skorheim Promoted To Loan Officer At Adams Location

First United Bank is pleased to announce the promotion of Amber Skorheim to the position of Loan Officer at its Adams location. Skorheim will be stepping into the role previously held by John Clapp, who is retiring at the end of June after 49 years of dedicated service.  

Skorheim has been with First United Bank since 2019 and has demonstrated excellent leadership skills and a strong commitment to customers. In her previous role as a Personal Banker, she worked closely with John Clapp and gained valuable knowledge, experience and insight into the responsibilities of the position, which will be of great benefit to bank customers and the bank itself. She is a 2023 graduate of the North Dakota School of Banking and also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Mayville State University.   

“We are excited to announce Amber’s promotion,” said Matt Beneda, Regional President. “We are confident she will continue to provide the level of service our customers have come to expect over the years.” 

John Clapp has been an integral part of First United Bank and his contributions will be missed. “We wish him the best in his well-deserved retirement,” said Beneda. 

Skorheim and her husband Craig, live in rural Adams and have one son.
