Item 5.02 |
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On March 23, 2016, John P. Brew, Jr., a director of Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”), communicated to the Company his intent to retire as a director of the Company and the Bank, effective March 31, 2016, following fifteen years of service as a director.
A nationally recognized speaker and author on community banking risk management and strategic planning, Mr. Brew was also a founding shareholder and director of the Bank. The Company benefited greatly from the unique insight and guidance offered by Mr. Brew, acquired through his forty years of experience advising community banks with respect to asset liability management, investment portfolio management, risk tolerance levels and strategic goal setting.
Mr. Brew’s decision to retire was not the result of a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s or the Bank’s operations, policies or practices.
