Branch managers will report to the Retail Banking Group, which will be supported by Operations Managers Val Leech, Diane Drinkwine and Kelly Lyons, respectively.

The new commercial banking team will be led by Senior Vice President and Commercial Banking Officer John Manolides and Vice President and Commercial Banking Officer Jim Williams. Both will report to Senior Vice President and Market Manager Brett Willis.
