She was born and raised in the Walters area, and currently resides in rural Bricelyn on a family farm with her husband, Darren, twin daughters Maya and Lauren and son Tommy.

“Beth has a driven personality and strives for the success of our customers,” said Daniel Otten, CEO and  senior commercial lender at Arcadian Bank. “She enjoys working as a team, and has quickly adjusted to the bank’s progressive culture.”

“I am excited to be a part of such a talented team, and am in awe of Arcadian Bank’s commitment to value-filled relationships with its employees, customers, and the community,” Aanderson said.
