Select Bank & Trust board of directors honor two individuals

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

President and CEO of Select Bank & Trust WILLIAM HEDGEPETH and Chairman of the Board GARY CICCONE were honored on Sept. 17 with Resolutions in Recognition and Appreciation for Service to Select Bank & Trust.  

 

“We began this journey some 20 years ago. We grew to the 6th largest community bank in N.C. and the 9th largest bank in N.C,” Hedgepeth wrote in a Facebook post about the honor. “This  was made possible by our hard working and incredible employees, our loyal customers and our patient shareholders! I appreciate the support of Chairman Ciccone, the board of directors, executive management and the many current and former employees that made this possible, and along the way they also made me a better CEO. I wish I could name them all as they all deserve to be recognized. 

The bank’s success and my personal success was not possible without all working together to make Select Bank & Trust one of the best banks in N.C. Next quarter we will merge into First Bank creating the largest community bank in N.C. We are looking forward to the next chapter.”
