The promotion, according to a statement, follows the May 31 retirement of Donna McKown, Heartland Area Market President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our Heartland market covered a large region, both demographically and geographically. Donna did a wonderful job providing leadership for that region and building relationships with the customers and communities there. Like most of the bank family, I am selfishly sad that she is retiring, but wish her nothing but the best,\u201d Crews Bank &amp; TrustChief Banking Officer Larry McLaren says in the release. \u201cDonna&#8217;s retirement brought about an opportunity to recognize that the Heartland region\u2019s distinct markets will benefit from more individualized, local leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The branches that will be included in the Polk County Market include the Winter Haven branch at 347 W. Central Ave. and the Lakeland branch at 221 E. Main St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting opportunity to lead an emerging market for Crews Bank &amp; Trust,\u201d Foreman says in the release. \u201cThe innovation of our Winter Haven and Lakeland branches is backed by a rich banking history and the tradition of customers knowing their banker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rob Roberts will be named market president for Highlands County, and Justin Fussell, current market president for DeSoto County, will also now lead Hardee County, say bank officials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wauchula-based Crews Bank has $2.12 billion in assets. The bank dates back to 1929 and now includes the brands. Wauchula State Bank, Crews Bank &amp; Trust, Charlotte State Bank &amp; Trust, and Englewood Bank &amp; Trust.
