EagleBank Chairman, President & CEO Ronald D. Paul Named 2012 Community Banker of the Year
29 November 2012 - 5:11PM
EagleBank today announced that Ronald D. Paul, Chairman, President
and CEO of Eagle Bancorp ("Eagle") and EagleBank, has been named
one of three Community Bankers of the Year by American Banker
magazine—a recognition bestowed on these three CEOs for "Best in
Banking."
The other two honorees are John Corbett, president and CEO of
CenterState Bank, based in Winter Haven, Florida, and Cathleen
Nash, president and CEO of Citizens Republic in Flint,
Michigan.
American Banker describes Paul as "a nimble strategist, an able
ambassador, and a turnaround artist who parlayed an impressive
rescue into a merger opportunity."
Since founding Eagle in 1998, "Paul has steadily built the
company into an outstanding performer and one of the most active
lenders in the Washington area, with much of its loan growth coming
from the real estate sector," according to the American Banker.
Eagle is the largest community bank in metropolitan Washington by
deposit market share. It has become the largest community bank
headquartered in Maryland by market capitalization, and is its most
profitable. The bank continues to be very active in its market,
with loans up 18% over a year ago.
Eagle has reported increased, record earnings in each of the
last 15 quarters, and is "showing no signs of slowing
down". Much of this success goes to "Paul's relentless
pounding of the pavement, which has yielded lasting and profitable
relationships" with entrepreneurs and small business owners,
developers, and local governments—a public advocate on behalf of
community banks. Paul has trumpeted the cause of banking
locally, succeeding in establishing depository relationships with
local governments such as Montgomery County, MD and Washington, DC.
He has also been an effective spokesman on the need for
Congress to extend the Transaction Account Guarantee Program that
provides unlimited FDIC insurance to non-interest bearing
transactions bank accounts. He serves on the Large Bank
Council of the Independent Community Bankers of America.
