Lászlóné Béke, President and CEO of Polgári Bank, departed this life on 27 October 2023, following a long illness. She was a renowned financial leader in the town of Polgár, who contributed to and, in her role as a banker, ensured the economic development of the entire region over a period of five decades. In reflection of her strong contribution, she was asked to participate in the management of the savings co-operative sector in a number of different capacities, at national level. She was one of those rare and valuable people who was always ready to take on the challenges that came with her pioneering roles both in the management of the countryside region and in her nation-wide responsibilities. She did so throughout her career, exuding professionalism, kindness and a human touch.
In the hope of resurrection, I bid farewell to Nórika, my dear and beloved banker Colleague.
