Hizzoner joins bank board

Randy Henderson may be best known as the mayor of Fort Myers, but fewer people may know his early career was in banking.

So it was no surprise when Encore Bank announced earlier this month that Henderson would join its board of directors. Encore Bank, headquartered in Naples, reported net assets of $329 million, according to the latest data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. It has six branches that stretch from Sun City Center to Naples.

After earning a degree in business administration in 1979, Henderson worked in banking until 1986 when he became president of Corbin Henderson Co., a real estate firm in downtown Fort Myers.
