NASB Financial Board Update: Leadership Changes
On May 6, 2026, NASB Financial, Inc., the financial institution headquartered in Kansas City, made an important announcement regarding its Board of Directors. Linda Hancock, a long-standing board member, has retired immediately from her position. Her departure marks the end of an era since she had been serving as a non-independent director since 1995. Throughout her tenure, Linda provided valuable insights and leadership to the Board, contributing significantly to the company’s growth and development.
Linda’s retirement was not due to any disagreements with the company's management or operations, but rather a personal decision likely influenced by family considerations. Her husband, David H. Hancock, continues to serve as the Chairman of the Board, and the family's connection to the company remains strong.
In light of Linda's departure, the company is excited to announce the appointment of Patrick Hancock to the Board. Filling the vacancy left by his mother's retirement, Patrick will serve for the remainder of her term, which is set to expire in January 2028. As a close family member—being both the son of Linda and David Hancock—Patrick will hold a non-independent director position as determined by the Board.
