H. Glenn Barker, chairman and CEO, Citizens Tri-County Bank in
Dunlap, TN, was installed as chairman of the Tennessee Bankers Association

Annual Meeting in June. More than 700 members of the financial services
industry and related businesses attended the convention held June 5–7

Barker succeeded to the post held last year by James A. England, chairman,
president, and CEO, Decatur County Bank, Decaturville, TN. England will
continue to sit on the association’s board of directors for the
next three years.
“I am honored to be selected to play a role in the growth and
evolution of our industry. As the first chairman from Sequatchie County,
I represent a small community but am proud to say that we are not small
in terms of involvement,” Barker noted in his acceptance speech.
He pledged to focus on legislative efforts in both Nashville and Washington
during his term, particularly in the areas of regulatory relief and
credit unions.

and CEO, Cornerstone Commu-nity Bank, Chattanooga
