In a recent announcement from the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), CEO of FNBC Bank, Marty Sellars, was elected to the ICBA Federal Delegate Board. The ICBA is an organization which supports community banks on the national level.
Sellars states, “It’s an honor to be elected to represent the community banking industry and shine a light on the invaluable work community banks across the nation do to strengthen and build more resilient communities.”
In addition to helping shape and advocate ICBA’s national policy positions and programs, Sellars’ duties will include engaging in grassroots activities in Arkansas and serving as a liaison between independent community bankers and ICBA staff and leadership in Washington, D.C. He will also work to recruit new members to ICBA.
Sellars, a native of Izard County, began his career in community banking when he was only 18 years old at a local bank in Horseshoe Bend. In January 1983, he joined FNBC in the Loan Department as a Loan Collector, and quickly advanced to Vice President and Loan Officer. In 1990, he was promoted to Vice President and Branch Manager to grow and expand FNBC’s footprint in the Hardy market. In 1997, he was once again promoted to Senior Vice President and Branch Administrator, supervising the operations of four of FNBC’s offices. He served in this capacity until his promotion to President and Chief Operations Officer in 2003, a position he held for 20 years. He was FNBC’s 10th President. He was named Chief Executive Officer in 2016.
Sellars is a graduate of Southern Methodist University Graduate School of Banking in Dallas. He sits on the Board of Directors for FNBC Bank, serves on the Board of Directors for the Network of Community Options, a position he has held for over 20 years, and is on the Board of Directors for the Northeast Arkansas Regional Intermodal Authority.
