"Our customers and the partnerships we create to build local community prosperity are the reason we are in business," Scott Bolton, senior vice president for external affairs and customer solutions. "Delivering exceptional service is a team effort across our company and depends on effective communication, a close working relationship with our operations professionals, and always being in tune with our customers' needs. With Cheryl and Alan and their experienced, committed teams in place, we will continue to foster growth for the customers and communities we serve."

Both Carter and Meyer will report to Bolton.
