            Most recently, Dornblaser served as Vice President of PubFunds for Fifth Third Bank in Atlanta where he was responsible for developing portfolios encompassing not-for-profit hospitals, higher education, municipalities and government entities. He previously directed the Healthcare Finance operations of KBC Bank N.V. throughout the southeastern U.S. and was responsible for establishing credit facilities for not-for-profit healthcare providers.

            Dornblaser began his career with National Westminster Bank PLC and steadily advanced in management responsibilities to become Vice President of Public Finance and team leader for its West Coast division. A graduate of Illinois State University, he holds a bachelor’s of science degree in finance with a minor in economics.

            Lenbrook has also elected Tripp Rawls to its Board of Directors to succeed Dornblaser.

Rawls specializes in retirement planning and frequently addresses pre-retiree groups at major corporations and government agencies around the country.
