Southern National Corp., the parent company of CCB Community Bank, announced the retirement of Thomas E. Lane, who has been in the position for the past 38 years.

In a press release from Chairman John Vick, he said that under Lane’s leadership CCB Community Bank has grown from one office with $43 million in assets in 1985 to four offices with $520 million in assets in 2020. In addition to the original bank in Andalusia, which was founded in 1947, CCB has branches in Opp, Crestview, Fla., and Niceville, Fla.
