John R. Waldron, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB Community Bancorp, Inc. and County National Bank, remarked, "I have spent a lot of time over the last six months looking at industry-wide projections and have noted that the entire financial services industry is expecting a reduced profit scenario for 2022.  We have seen that reduction thus far in 2022 in comparison to 2021 here at County National Bank.  However, I am very excited for what 2022 has brought, and will continue to bring, to our bank, its employees and our customers.  The Bank and its employees have been working diligently to bring in a large number of new customers in the last two years, and that growth is supporting a very strong Balance Sheet with increasingly strong Net Interest Income numbers.  Combine these factors with our strong, hard-working customer base, and you can see why I am confident in CNB's position for 2022 and beyond."
