 Congratulations "Rick" Clements

Richard "Rick" Clements has built an extraordinary career defined by professional excellence, family legacy, and long-standing service to his community.

A 1973 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Rick earned degrees in Mathematics and Actuarial Science before completing his law degree in 1975. He was admitted to practice law in Nebraska in January 1976.

That same month, Rick began a dual career--joining his father's law firm in Elmwood, Nebraska, where he has practiced for 50 years, and being elected Assistant Cashier of American Exchange Bank. Representing the fourth generation of his family's involvement with the bank since 1909, Rick became President in 1985 following his father, Dwight's retirement. His twin brother, Rob, joined the bank in 1978, continuing the strong family tradition.

In addition to his legal and banking careers, Rick has served as an active real estate broker in Elmwood since 1976. Now serving as Executive Vice-President and transitioning into retirement, Rick has helped ensure a smooth succession, with the next generation of the Clements family assuming leadership. Rick's legacy reflects a lifetime of dedication to his profession, his family, and the Elmwood community. Rick and his wife, Mickie, have 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Their son, Aaron Clements, has ably assumed Rick's bank lending and management duties.
