Over the past few years, Community Bank has made several changes to its
Executive Team designed to position the Bank for successful, prudent
growth over the upcoming years.
To that end, Community Bank has hired J. Duncan Smith, CPA as Chief
Financial Officer and Executive Vice President. Duncan adds significant
experience to the Bank’s financial staff in areas such as mergers and
acquisitions, capital markets and process management. In addition, Mr.
Smith brings experience in conducting the financial affairs of a public
company including shareholder relations, SEC relations and the stringent
financial and reporting requirements.
Over the past thirty plus years, Duncan has gained valuable and
practical experience in banking and financial services companies. Duncan
started his career in public accounting, became a CPA and worked for
several notable firms including Ernst and Young and Grant Thornton where
his clients included financial institutions. Duncan went on to become
the Chief Financial Officer of several Philadelphia area financial
institutions including Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (NASDAQ – BMTC), First
Chester County Corporation and Security First Bank.
David Misch, CEO, commented on his new CFO by saying, “Duncan has had a
successful banking career and we are delighted to have him as a member
of our Executive Team. I am certain he will contribute in a very
substantive way to the Bank.”
