Commenting on the announcement Shoemaker stated, "It has been a great ride over the past twenty one years and I am extremely proud of the success that our bank has achieved. I have given this issue careful thought and consideration over the past few years and I know the time is right for me personally and professionally. After leaving the position of President and CEO, I will look forward to continuing to serve the bank in a new capacity."

Over the next few months the Directors will form a search committee with representation from both the Board and management. An open search process is expected to begin this fall so that the next President is identified before the Annual Meeting in 2009. The search committee will consider both internal and external candidates.
