The Oakworth Central Carolinas Market Board is composed of successful leaders with varying industry and community backgrounds. They exemplify Oakworth's core purpose of helping people succeed while demonstrating exceptional leadership through its core values (golden rule; character; innovative/creative spirit; professionalism; and work ethic) in Charlotte and the surrounding communities.

"These individuals are highly respected leaders in our community," said Tim Beck, managing director and market leader for Oakworth in the Central Carolinas. "We are honored to welcome Brent, Tommy, Patricia, Hugh, David and Holly to our board, and we look forward to the valuable insight and guidance they will provide."

Beason serves as chairman and chief executive of B&W Fiberglass Inc. "I am excited to help perpetuate the innovative mission of Oakworth into the Carolinas by bringing recognition to a best-in-class financial partner," Beason said. "Oakworth stands out as possibly the only financial partner I have transacted with in the past 25 years that truly takes the time to understand my business and determine how to best support me. They consistently demonstrate the very definition of a partner through their actions."

Hunter is managing director at Anderson LeNeave & Co. "The Central Carolinas need an Oakworth," said Hunter. "Its fresh perspective, energy, and skills are essential for growth and for attracting both clients and talent who are looking for better financial relationships."

Charlotte needs the Oakworth experience, and I am so glad to be a part of that."
