Emporia, Kansas – ESB Financial is pleased to announce the promotion of Kim LoPorto to Vice President.

LoPorto serves in Human Resources at ESB Financial and plays a vital role in supporting the bank’s team members, leadership development, and organizational culture. Her work reflects ESB’s commitment to investing in its people and maintaining a strong, collaborative workplace environment.

“Being promoted to Vice President is both an honor and a responsibility,” LoPorto said. “It represents years of hard work and dedication, along with the trust ESB has placed in me to help lead, support our people, and contribute to the long-term success of the organization. This milestone would not have been possible without the guidance, support, and mentorship of the coaches and leaders I’ve had throughout my career at ESB, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue growing and giving back to the organization.”

LoPorto’s leadership is grounded in what ESB refers to as the ESB Way — a commitment to integrity, professionalism, accountability, and collaboration.

“The ESB Way is a commitment to excellence rooted in integrity, professionalism, accountability, and collaboration,” LoPorto said. “In my day-to-day work, that means doing the right thing by acting ethically and transparently, taking pride in my work, owning my decisions, and learning from every experience. It also means valuing open communication, respecting different perspectives, and working together to achieve the best outcomes for ESB Financial.”

Throughout her career at ESB, LoPorto has helped foster a strong team culture built on trust, communication, and shared success.

“What I enjoy most about working with Team ESB is the people and the relationships we’ve built,” she said. “Team ESB is truly a second family to me — I’ve grown here both personally and professionally. There’s a strong sense of teamwork, support, and shared commitment to excellence, and that culture makes ESB a place where people feel valued, connected, and motivated to succeed together.”
