Locke among additions at First National Bank

Nancy Locke has been named vice president of marketing and human relations, while Randy Fletcher has been named senior vice president and manager of First National Bank’s Rutherford County loan production office.

A McMinnville native, Locke obtained a bachelor of science degree in human resource/human ecology from University of Tennessee. Prior to joining First National Bank, she served as the assistant CEO at McMinnville’s River Park Hospital. Locke has over 20 years of administrative experience. She is married to James and they have four children.

Tom Vance, president and CEO of First National Bank, said, ‘In developing our strategic plan, our board of directors agrees FNB needs to focus our attention to a full-time marketing campaign as well as take a comprehensive look at our employee benefits compared to other banks our size. Other key areas of focus are the establishment of an employee-training program, new job descriptions and salary ranges, and a new internal and external image for FNB.’

Vance added, “Nancy is well known as a civic leader and skilled manager in Warren County and our board feels extremely fortunate to add someone of her character and reputation to our management team.’

Fletcher served as a senior vice president for Greene County Bank prior to joining First National. Randy is originally from Virginia and moved to Tennessee to attend Trevecca Nazarene College, where he received his BS degree. Randy and his family live in Springfield.

Said Vance, ‘First National is excited to have someone of Randy’s caliber join our bank family as senior vice president and manager of our Rutherford County loan production office. Randy is an extremely capable senior lender and has approximately 30 years of banking experience in Middle Tennessee. A major goal of our board in making the decision to enter the loan arena in Murfreesboro was to find the right person to represent our bank in that expanding market. We are convinced Randy Fletcher has the right qualifications from a lending standpoint to be very successful in this new market for our McMinnville-based operation.’
