QUINCY, Calif., Sept. 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plumas Bancorp (Nasdaq: PLBC ), the parent company of Plumas Bank, announced that Director, President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew J. Ryback, was recently appointed to the Board of the California Community Banking Network, (CCBN). A trade association in California that advocates exclusively for independent community banks, CCBN focuses on banking issues from a community banker's perspective. An affiliate of the Independent Community Bankers of America, or ICBA, CCBN was founded to serve as a distinct and authoritative voice for community banks throughout the Golden State.
Ryback commented, “It is important to improve and expand the banking industry; before the great recession there were over 100 de novo banks opening each year nationwide. In the past 6 years, only 4 de novo banks have opened; this is very disconcerting. Community banks are the backbone of our Nation’s economy; they fund small businesses, make the vast majority of agricultural loans and reinvest dollars back into their local communities. I am honored to be a part of an organization that focuses on helping community banks improve and grow through education and training; networking, lobbying, and creating products/services that are good for consumers and all communities, here in California and throughout the United States.”
Ryback joined Plumas Bank in July 2001.
