Board of Directors

A FOUNDATION OF LOCAL LEADERS

A Cornerstone of Community Banking

For over 80 years, FNBD has proven itself as a financial cornerstone in Beauregard—and now Calcasieu—Parish. Like each marble tile of the Historic location in downtown DeRidder, each member of the FNBD Board of Directors, from generation-to-generation, has laid down a path to financial security and prosperity that people depend on and trust.

This same foundation of leadership is still in place today with the current FNBD Board of Directors. They are men and women who collectively offer a broad berth of knowledge and insight into local industry and business. Each has worked in the communities in which they live, and this provides a practical understanding of what a community bank needs to do to drive economic growth.

They are businessmen and women with roots in our local communities. Their insights ensure that FNBD will continue to bring in the best talent, provide the best services, attract the very best customers, and be the best bank in Southwest Louisiana.
