GLASGOW — Two area residents have been named to the board of directors of a Kentucky bank.
Terry L. Bunnell, chairman, president and CEO of Peoples-Marion Bancorp, Inc. and The Peoples Bank, of Marion, has announced the recent appointments of Pamela Hodges Browning and Eugene Myatt to the boards of directors of the holding company and the bank.
Browning and Myatt are joining the boards as the bank seeks to build upon its core banking foundation with growth opportunities in southcentral Kentucky, according to Bunnell.
Browning, a native of Glasgow, served as the Barren County Clerk until her retirement on Dec. 31, 2008. She was employed in that office for a total of 36 years, having served as a deputy clerk and the chief deputy clerk during the administration of her father, Wilmer Hodges. She is an active member of the Glasgow-Barren County Chamber of Commerce, having served as a past board member, on the Ambassadors Club and the Leadership Program. She was also a recipient of the chamber’s Athena Award (Outstanding Woman of Achievement).
She is a member of the Cave City Chamber of Commerce, Travelers Protective Association, National Rifle Association, Barren County Cattlemen’s Association, Barren County Homemakers and she has been appointed as a Kentucky Colonel.
Browning was a recent recipient of the Glasgow Daily Times “Rising Star Award” and has been actively involved with the Republican Party on both state and local levels. She currently serves as a volunteer at T. J. Samson Community Hospital.
Browning graduated with honors from Barren County High School in 1976 and attended Western Kentucky University. She completed the Master Certification in Local Officials Training Program and received the State Merit Award from Kentucky Friends of the Public Archives.
She and her husband, Lowell, have been married for 31 years. They have a daughter, Kasey, son-in-law, Nathan, and a 22-month old grandson, Kasan. Their son, Dustin, is deceased. The Brownings are members of the Neals Chapel Cumber-land Presby-terian Church, where Pam Browning is active in the Women’s Ministry.
Myatt, a native of Mount Hermon, is the managing partner of Burkmann Feeds of Glasgow and Edmonton. In addition, he is the president of Kentucky Heifer Growers, a network of dairy heifer raisers in Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. He serves as vice president of Dairy Calf & Heifer Association, which is a national organization that represents approximately 550 heifer raisers nationally.
Along with his wife, Joy, and his two sons, Adam and Justin, Myatt owns and operates a farm in Mount Hermon where he raises dairy heifers.
Myatt holds an undergraduate degree from Western Kentucky University, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture in 1980. He has served as a past president of Green River DHIA.
“I am very pleased to have new directors with Pam’s and Eugene’s backgrounds to be involved with the bank in such a leadership role. They bring extensive business and administrative experience to the group. Pam’s background in county government and Eugene’s knowledge about the many issues involved in running both a farm and a business will be a positive benefit for the bank,” Bunnell said.
In addition to Bunnell, Browning and Myatt, other directors are Doug Landers of Glasgow, Donnie Phillips and Jerrell James of Marion, Gil Cowles of Bowling Green, Bill Morgan of Benton, Brandon Morgan of Paducah and Ted Williams and Brian Ragan of Dickson, Tenn.
The bank has two offices in Marion and a loan office in Glasgow.
