Area banker named to FDIC advisory committee

Neil McCurry, president and CEO of Sarasota-based Sabal Palm Bank, has been named to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s advisory committee on community banking.

McCurry is one of 17 members appointed to the advisory committee and the only one from Florida, according to the FDIC’s website. The committee shares input with the FDIC — an independent agency created by the U.S. Congress to “maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system” — on a broad range of community bank policy and regulatory matters.
