First National Bank CEO Samuel Sicard Talks Family Legacy

<p>In this episode of Discover Fort Smith, hosts Emily Horn and Josh Buchfink sit down with Sam Sicard, President and CEO of First National Bank and the fifth generation of his family to lead it since 1872. Sam shares how he stepped into the role in 2011 after his father passed away, what sets a community bank apart from a national one, and why he sees First National&#39;s growth as tied directly to Fort Smith&#39;s own. He also talks about the projects he&#39;s helped bring to life around town — from the riverfront bike and skate park to the Hunts Park renovation — and gives real talk for anyone thinking about starting a small business here.</p><p><br></p><p>#DiscoverFortSmith #FirstNationalBank #FortSmithArkansas</p>
