(l-r) David Lance, Greater Community Bank and 2020-2021 CBA Chair; Debra Weil, Community Banking Company of Fitzgerald, 2021-2022 CBA Chair;
and John McNair, President & CEO, CBA
Debra Weil, Executive Vice President, Community Banking Company of Fitzgerald, was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA). 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, Florida. Her term began on June 7, 2021.
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 are 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,” commented John McNair, President & CEO of the Community Bankers Association of Georgia. “Thanks to the guidance of these community bank leaders, our association continues to thrive. Debra has been actively involved in leadership positions with CBA for many years and has a vision for the coming year. Her leadership and expertise in the banking industry will position CBA to new heights. The diverse experience each board member brings is an invaluable asset to CBA and serves to strengthen the community banking industry in Georgia.”
