TAMPA — NorthStar Bank, a Tampa-based community bank, has appointed six new members to its board of directors, says President and CEO Monty Weigel.
The bank began a search for two new members for the board earlier this year. Unable to narrow down the nominations, NorthStar decided to choose six instead. The addition brings the board of directors to 15.
Among the new directors is Carl Singley — a former director of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank — and Dr. Rebecca White, a professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Tampa. Dr. James Brookins, James Cantonis, Herbert Goetschius and Joseph Merluzzi were also appointed to the board.
NorthStar was founded in 2007 and currently has assets in excess of $175 million, a news release says.
