Perry D. “Pete” Mowbray, D.D.S., chairman of the Board Directors of The Bank of Marion, has announced the appointment of two area residents to that board.
Timothy W. “Tim” Carter, a resident of Rural Retreat, and a graduate of Chilhowie High School and Emory & Henry College, was recently named to the board.
Carter co-owns and operates the general contracting and restoration firm, Red Oak Construction, with his family. The company has offices in Chilhowie and Wytheville.
“Tim Carter is a welcome addition to our board,” Mowbray said. “He is a successful businessman and entrepreneur who understands the financial needs of small business owners throughout our service area. His experience and expertise will be great assets to our board and to The Bank of Marion in general.”
Marion resident Dennis W. Perkins, D.D.S., was appointed to the board earlier.
Perkins is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and practices with Appalachian Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Marion. He is a graduate of Marion Senior High School and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
Perkins’ post-graduate work was done at the Medical College of Virginia and at the University of Illinois at Chicago Health and Science Center, where he was graduated with honors. He is a member of the Association of Maxillofacial Surgeons.
“We are fortunate to have Dr. Perkins on our board,” Mowbray said. “He is a strong proponent of community banking and will well represent our medical and professional customers and communities.”
The Bank of Marion was established in 1874 and is the third oldest bank in Virginia. The bank has 17 branches throughout Southwestern Virginia and the Tri-Cities.
