Scott Curry named to Community Bankers Association board
Jun. 21—CUTHBERT — Scott Curry, president and CEO of First State Bank of Randolph County, Cuthbert, was elected to the board of directors of the Community Bankers Association of Georgia as Division 5 Chair. Nominations for the 2021-22 CBA board of directors were announced and approved at CBA's annual convention, held June 2- 6 at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Fla. Curry's term began June 7.
CBA was founded in 1969 by a group of Georgia community bankers to protect the political interests of locally owned community banks. Representing approximately 140 community banks and 150 associate member companies, CBA offers services in three distinct areas: legislative, professional development and member services. CBA is the state's only advocate working solely for the interests of community banks and their customers.
Board members are selected from seven divisions across the state of Georgia, ensuring all Georgia community banks are equally represented. Board members are elected to a one-year term. During the year, directors will be involved in several items on behalf of the CBA membership, such as responding to proposed rules and regulations from the various regulatory agencies, reviewing services that will benefit the community banking industry, and weighing in on proposed legislation.
"CBA is fortunate to have an enthusiastic and dedicated board of directors, representing all areas of the state," John McNair, president & CEO of the Community Bankers Association of Georgia, said. "Thanks to the guidance of these community bank leaders, our association continues to thrive. We are pleased to welcome several new members to the board this year. The diverse experience each board member brings is an invaluable asset to CBA and serves to strengthen the community banking industry in Georgia."
