His experience spans commercial lending, credit analysis, portfolio management, profitability modeling, and bank operations, providing him with a comprehensive understanding of both the banking industry and the needs of local businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Myers is actively involved in the Effingham community as he currently serves on the boards of the Salvation Army of Effingham County and Crisis Nursery of Effingham County and volunteers as a baseball and basketball coach for area youth sports. He previously served on the board of the Effingham Performance Center and has dedicated much of his career to supporting organizations that strengthen the region&#8217;s quality of life and economic vitality.<\/p>\n<p>Myers earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Business Administration from McKendree College, now McKendree University.
