Election of the bank’s board, news of the bank’s strong financial soundness, newly launched products and services, and plans for the future were part of Carmichaels-based Community Bank’s 102nd annual shareholders’ meeting. Re-elected to the board were: Ralph J. Sommers Jr., Barron P. McCune Jr., Karl G. Baily, James M. Dugan, Mark E. Fox, William C. Groves, Joseph N. Headlee and Rod L. Piatt.
“This hometown bank has shown measurable growth in assets, loans, and deposits over the last year,’ Sommers said. “Assets grew by more than $29.8 million, a 13 percent gain. Deposits grew by more than $16.2 million, an 8 percent gain. Loans grew by more than $17.7 million, an 11 percent gain. Meanwhile, shareholders equity grew to $26,087,000, a 5 percent gain. Book value per share grew to $10.96, an 8 percent gain. Net income grew to $2,215,000, a 16 percent gain. Community Bank paid $879,543 in dividends to shareholders, a 12 percent gain. Finally, Community Bank common stock market value grew by 14 percent in 2002.”
“We keep our finger on the financial pulse of growing businesses and families in Greene and Washington counties,” McCune said.
“We anticipated and addressed both commercial and retail customer needs with the introduction of two superior bank services and products: Internet Banking/internet Bill Pay, and Financial and Wealth Management Services. The former quickly exceeded initial projections and the latter was launched in conjunction with the prestigious regional investment banking firm, Parker/Hunter, Inc.”
Community Bank is a locally owned and operated, nationally chartered bank with over $267 million in assets.
The bank services customers in 10 offices throughout Greene and Washington counties, and is a committed civic and philanthropic partner in the communities it serves.
