MIDLOTHIAN, VA, March 7, 2022 – Community Bankers’ Bank (CBB) is pleased to announce the selection of Dana R. Bodley as Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, effective immediately.
Ms. Bodley, a native of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, joins the CBB team with over twenty years of experience in the banking industry, beginning her career in Baltimore, Maryland, with First National Bank of Maryland (now M&T Bank). Her banking experience in Baltimore included stints as a commercial lender and roles in credit administration before returning to the Eastern Shore to serve as a commercial lender with Bay Bank. Following the closure of the bank’s Salisbury, Maryland office, she joined the Bank of Ocean City. At Bank of Ocean City, she served in a credit capacity for seven years until her decision to relocate to an urban banking market brought her to Richmond, Virginia, as a Senior Credit Officer for Blue Ridge Bank.
Ms. Bodley holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business from the University of Notre Dame of Maryland and a Master’s degree in Finance from the University of Baltimore. Ms. Bodley succeeds Nancy Sullivan. Ms. Sullivan retired following 13 years with CBB.
Gary R. Shook, President and CEO of Community Bankers’ Bank, commented, “We are delighted to have someone of Dana Bodley’s talent join the Community Bankers’ Bank team as Chief Credit Officer. With her addition, we look forward to a seamless transition and a continuation of CBB’s client-focused approach to lending in our markets.”
Dana Bodley added, “I am excited to join the CBB team. This organization provides much-needed services to support the success and independence of community banks, and this matters to me.”
