Orange County banking veteran Thomas B. Rogers was elected chairman of Plaza Bank’s board of directors as part of the 4-year-old financial institution's aggressive restructuring that has brought an infusion of significant capital and new leadership. The community bank specializes in serving small business in Orange County.
In recent months, Plaza Bank has installed a new president, Gene Galloway, and CEO, Terry L. Robinson, in addition to board members Charles Kenny, former chief executive of the Private Bank of California, and James Jones, a partner of the BancFund’s general partner.
“I have accepted this challenge because of the quality of Plaza Bank’s ownership, its seasoned management, its financial strength, and its vision and commitment to lend to small businesses and contribute to Orange County’s economic recovery,” says Rogers, who retired earlier this year as executive vice president of City National Bank’s Southern Region of Orange County. “I also have great respect for Ed Carpenter, a gifted banking leader based in Orange County, whose Carpenter Community BancFund has given Plaza Bank new life, new energy and the ability and mission to extend credit to Orange County’s small businesses that have been so punished in the current recession.”
