Last Monday, Great Western Bank of Newton welcomed its new marketing director, Jeff Price. He has been serving the City of Newton for many years.

Price graduated from Newton Senior High School in 1998, and starting working at Hy-Vee later that year. For 15 years he called Hy-Vee his home. In 2002, he earned a Business Finance degree from the University of Northern Iowa. Hy-Vee recognized his talents, and Price worked his way up to became Manager of Store Operations.

At Hy-Vee, Price concentrated on customer service. He admitted that it is an important role at his new job.
