By Symone Graham – Staff Writer, Charlotte Business Journal
A local bank CEO is stepping into a new leadership role at the North Carolina Bankers Association.
The trade organization has appointed Jim Marshall, president and CEO of blueharbor bank, as chair of its board of directors. He previously served as NCBA’s vice chair. Marshall succeeds Bob Washburn, president and CEO of LifeStore Bank. Steve Fisher, chairman and CEO of Salisbury-based F&M Bank, was named vice chair.
blueharbor bank is headquartered in Mooresville and ranks as the Charlotte region’s fourth-largest community bank. Marshall’s reputation for community involvement and operational excellence aligns closely with NCBA’s priorities, said the group’s president and CEO, Peter Gwaltney.
“Jim is recognized as a leader in our industry,” Gwaltney told CBJ. “He runs a very profitable community bank that is deeply involved in volunteer and charitable activities. He’s a great representation of who the NCBA is and what we represent.”
Marshall will be joined on the board by four new directors elected to three-year terms: BJ Losch of Live Oak Bank in Wilmington, Richard Spiker II of Carter Bank in Greensboro, Carrie Lackey of Taylorsville Savings Bank and Brad Jones of First National Bank in Charlotte. Gwaltney said their appointments reflect an effort to ensure the board mirrors the diversity of North Carolina’s banking landscape, both in institution size and charter type.
“You could look at that board, and it is representative of the diversity of our industry in terms of the kinds of banks that we have and the uniqueness of the banks that we have in North Carolina,” he said.
