Bristol County Savings Bank Reports Record Growth at Annual Meeting
Bristol County Savings Bank is a $1.2 billion mutual savings bank founded in 1846, which is headquartered in Taunton, MA with 10 offices located in Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Taunton, MA, April 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The year 2006 was another challenging, but successful year for the Bristol County Savings Bank. At the Bank’s Annual Meeting in March, 2007 Bank President E. Dennis Kelly, Jr. stated, “2006 was a special year for Bristol County Savings Bank as it marked our 160th year serving the banking needs of our community. Despite the fact that we were faced with a flat to inverted yield curve, we had one of the more successful years in the history of our Bank.”
He noted that total assets grew at near record levels surpassing approximately $1.088 billion. Nearly all of this growth or $115.2 million was in loans. Retained earnings surpassed $158.8 million, which is one of the largest yearly increases in the Bank’s history. The Bank’s capital position as a percentage of total assets remains at over 14.5%, despite its strong asset growth.
Kelly also noted changes to the bank’s Board of Directors with the retirement of its Chairman of the Board, Norman F. Gorden and Director William J. Gloekler due to the age requirement set in the Bank’s bylaws. “We will miss their enthusiasm, support and guidance and we thank them for their contributions to the success of the Bank.”
Gorden, a resident of Mattapoisset, MA, joined the Bank as a member of the Corporation in 1965, was elected to the Board of Directors in 1975, and served as Chairman of the Board since 1998. Gloekler, a long time resident and former town official of North Easton, MA, joined the Bank as a member of the Corporation in 1977, was elected to the Board of Directors in 1979, and served as Chairman of the Audit Committee since 1980.
Dennis M. Cody will assume the position of Chairman of the Board. Cody, a resident of Lakeville, MA, served as Vice Chairman of the Board for the past 8 years, and has been a Board member for 22 years. Charles Terry, the new Vice Chairman of the Board, is a resident of North Dighton, MA and has been a Board member since 1993.
