Chamber Board

Kim Barnes has led The Callaway Bank as its President and CEO since October 2012, however, her career in banking began as a lobby receptionist with the Bank in 1987.  At the time, Kim was a recent graduate of William Woods University, with degrees in accounting and computer science.  The timing was perfect because soon after she started, the Bank decided to install its first in-house computer system.  The president looked to Kim and said, “We think this would be a great fit for you,” and put her in charge of the project. 

Over the years, Kim has held many positions throughout the Bank. Much of her service was behind the scenes where she spearheaded many of the Bank’s products and services initiatives and Information Technologies Department.

Kim’s vision for the Bank is to see it continue as an independent community bank dedicated to helping its clients succeed in their financial goals.  “We want to be their consultant, their advisor, their partner in life.  Our tagline, ‘We’re With You for the Moments That Matter,’ is entirely correct about how we feel.  When our clients are successful and moving their businesses forward, it also makes us stronger,” says Kim.

As president and CEO, she has continued to innovate through multiple initiatives that include branch redesign, Employee Give Back Day, Callaway Business Coaching, and Downtown Revitalization Program.  Kim was instrumental in helping launch the Show-Me Innovation Center and in bringing the Missouri Women’s Business Center to Fulton.  Both groups provide support for new and existing businesses and encourage entrepreneurship.

Kim understands the importance of giving back and does so through many areas of service within our communities and the state.  She serves, or has served, on the following boards: SERVE, Inc., Callaway County Chamber of Commerce, Fulton Area Development Foundation, Boy Scouts of America Great Rivers Council Executive Board, William Woods University Board of Trustees, and the Missouri Independent Bankers Association. 

From a young age, Beth Snyder loved all things arts and crafts. As a high schooler at North Callaway in the mid-nineties, her first business "Beth's Bauble & Beads" was successful enough to put her through college. Between then and now, the great creative project of starting and growing a business has inspired several small creative endeavors including freelance design, custom murals, and basically anything that provided a little extra money to buy more art supplies.

Beth graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia with a BFA in Fibers and Graphic Design, hoping to someday be a designer of fabric. She has worked in television design and as an art director for magazines, but now owns and operates 1canoe2, a stationery and illustration company based at 413 Court Street in Fulton. The 1canoe2 Paperie is just the tip of the iceberg, however, as the company ships around 50 packages a day to customers all over the world. You can find 1canoe2 products at nearly 1400 retail stores worldwide.

Beth is married to Jason, an IT professional at MU, and is mom to a sweet 3rd grader. In addition to being a long-time member of the Chamber, she serves on boards for the Art House, the YMCA of Callaway County, and the Advisory Board of the School of Visual Studies at Mizzou. For fun, she works more, reads the first 4 chapters of many business books, does a variety of crafts, and loves to travel.
