♦ David Lance is CEO of Greater Community Bank.
David J. Lance, president and CEO of Greater Community Bank, was elected chairman of the Board of Directors of the Community Bankers Association of Georgia. Nominations for the 2020-21 CBA Board of Directors were announced and approved at CBA’s Annual convention held in late September at the Hilton Sandestin. His term began Oct 1.
Greater Community Bank is proud to support Lance as the Bank’s second CBA leader, preceded by Thomas D. Caldwell, Greater Community Bank founder and 2004 CBA chairman.
“I’ve known David since his youth and have never know him to not give 150% toward any job he undertakes,” remarked Caldwell. “I have every confidence that he will devote equal effort to CBA during the coming year which will consequently serve to benefit all community banks throughout Georgia.”
Bob Berry, chairman of the Board of Directors of Greater Community Bank, also endorsed Lance, stating, “David is a remarkable leader for our Bank. I know he will be a strong and innovative leader during his time as Chairman with the Community Bankers Association of Georgia.”
Lance is a fourthgeneration banker, whose family has banked in Northwest Georgia since the 1890s. He has led and grown multiple community banks over the past four decades.
“The relationship between a customer and their bank is what community banking is all about. I am excited for the opportunity to work alongside a keen board to promote and enhance community banking throughout Georgia,” said Lance.
