August 15, 2020 5:01 am

CB Financial Services, the holding company of Community Bank, announced its new President and CEO. At a news conference at Southpointe Country Club that included live and Zoom virtual participation, John H. Montgomery was named President and CEO of CB Financial Services. Montgomery brings more than 3 decades of experience in banking from Pennsylvania through his most recent stop in St. Louis, Missouri. The Bryn Mawr, PA native finds the job attractive because of the role community banks play and because it gets he and his wife closer to family. Montgomery acknowledges the current strains on banks due to the current pandemic, but he is looking to the future to make sure he is able to position Community Bank for its customers and how they will choose to relate to the bank while conducting transactions. Whether that is in person or electronically, Montgomery wants to meet those demands quickly. Because Community Bank is so very tightly tied to the area it serves, one of Montgomery’s first orders of business is to meet the people. Montgomery will take over from Interim President and CEO Barron P. McCune, Jr. on August 31,2020.
