Shepherdstown, W.Va. (PRWEB) March 24, 2016 -- Jefferson Security Bank’s Board of Directors has appointed Cynthia A. Kitner as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of Jefferson Security Bank (JSB), effective March 16, 2016.
K. Stephen Morris served as the President and CEO of JSB and as a member of the Bank’s Board of Directors since 2003. Mr. Morris will officially retire on April 20, 2016 and will serve as the Chief Strategy Officer until such time.
Kitner, a certified public accountant with more than 18 years of banking experience in both public and private sector accounting, said she is ready for the next step in her banking career. “I am honored to serve as Jefferson Security Bank’s next President and CEO,” she said. “I look forward to continuing to serve our diverse local communities in my new position.”
Kitner joined the Bank in 2005 and has served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since March 2007. Prior to that time, she served as the Senior Vice President and CFO. As CFO, she has worked to ensure proper financial accounting and reporting of the Bank’s operating results. She also has been directly responsible for the oversight and management of the finance, risk management and compliance departments.
Kitner also holds the positions of Risk Management Officer, Compliance Officer, Customer Information Security Program Coordinator, Community Reinvestment Act Officer and Corporate Secretary.
In her more than 10 years with JSB, Kitner has provided mentoring and leadership for several departments, including human resources, information technology and loan review, while assisting Morris with pivotal projects.
Kitner’s ability to provide support and make critical decisions during the development and implementation of new bank policies, procedures, strategies and objectives has made her a valuable asset to the Bank, according to James Davis, Chair of JSB’s Board of Directors.
“Cindy has been a visionary throughout her career at Jefferson Security Bank,” Davis said. “We are confident that she is the right person to fuel the Bank’s momentum.”
