We believe that First Bank will have expanded opportunities to implement our strategy of thoughtful and disciplined growth. The experience and depth that will be provided by these colleagues in their expanded roles will be critical to achieving our goals of growth, community support and revenue generation. I would also like to thank Eric Credle for his 24 years of hard work and dedication as our Chief Financial Officer. He has been a critical part of the growth and success of our Bank."
