As the Immediate Past Chairman of the Board, Jeff helped secure the financing to purchase the land for the ED Park by the hospital, and brings a wealth of knowledge to the CEDC Board of Directors.

Meet Jeff, President/CEO of Four States Bank!

Before 4SB had a name, Jeff Williams saw a gap: a region that needed a real community bank, run by people with real roots here.

Jeff brings 34 years of community banking experience and a simple goal: build a bank that exceeds what customers, employees, and our communities expect.

That's still the goal every single day.
