Casey Merkwan serves on both the corporate communications team and the community marketing team at St. Louis Park-based Old National Bank (ONB). Her role includes developing and executing effective communication strategies internally and externally, along with employee engagement, larger sponsorships, and community outreach. In early 2023, Merkwan developed a sponsorship rubric to equitably vet hundreds of financial donation requests received across the bank’s seven-state footprint. She’s also led several campaigns over the years including Choose Your Charity in 2020, where ONB donated $170,000 through an online voting campaign that garnered more than a quarter-million votes from community members. She also serves on the board of BestPrep and the advisory council for PACER Center.
