Class B directors represent the public with and give consideration to issues including the interests of agriculture, commerce, industry, services, labor, and consumers.?

Seidman Becker was elected by member banks in Group 2, which consists of banks with capital and surplus greater than $40 million and less than $2 billion. Seidman Becker will serve a three-year term ending December 31, 2028.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
