Mr. Milleson stated that “It has been a great 20 years as President and CEO. I have appreciated the opportunity to lead this Company but am looking forward to more leisure time. I started with Bank of Clarke in 1984 and still hold this Company in the highest regard as a strong, independent community bank with deep roots and exceptional bankers, board members and shareholders. I look forward to working with the new chief executive officer to ensure a smooth transition.”

During Mr. Milleson’s service as President and CEO, the Company grew its assets from $153 million to nearly $800 million. The Company also expanded its branch network to a current thirteen locations in Clarke, Frederick and Loudoun Counties and the City of Winchester.

Their plan is to make this transition a smooth one and are proactively managing the transition process. Inquiries are being directed to Korn Ferry.
