As president and CEO of Penn Community Bank, Pennsylvania’s second-largest mutual bank, Vidoni’s primary mission is to ensure that the Philadelphia region has the option to do business with a locally based, independently run financial organization. Throughout her 35-year career in the banking profession, Vidoni has served in various roles at local, regional and national banks throughout the Philadelphia region. When Penn Community Bank was formed in 2015 through the unification of two Bucks County mutual banks, Vidoni was tapped to lead the newly formed financial organization, which offers banking, lending, insurance and investments.

Since then, Penn Community Bank has opened two additional branch locations, including its first in Montgomery County, and has added 30 new jobs, a job growth rate of 10 percent. That growth was recognized with the 2017 Economic Impact Champion of Commerce award from the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce.
