The Bank of Lincoln County announces the establishment of its advisory board.

This board is comprised of local businessmen and women who will typically serve three-year terms.

Since 2015 marks the first year for this board, the initial terms will range from two to four years.

The current members of the board are Dan Holt, Lincoln Vending/Shoney’s; Bob Malone, BMA Properties; David Sanders, Personal Touch Carpet, Inc.; Jana Smith, Davie Ashley Sawmill; Kevin Steelman, poultry and farming operations; and Mike Wetherington, American Development Corporation.

The advisory board will serve in various capacities for the bank, and during their tenure, members will learn about financial banking standards and regulations. The Bank of Lincoln County recognizes the vital role that small businesses and agriculture play in our local economy and understands that the knowledge these individuals possess is invaluable in assessing current small business needs and current economic conditions.

The advisory board will also oversee the selection process for awarding Bank of Lincoln County Scholarships to local high school seniors.

The Bank of Lincoln County looks forward to the contributions that these individuals will make to the bank and to the community.
