Kattel to Chairman of the Board. He will remain as the bank’s president as well. Mr. Kattel, 38, has been president of the $3 billion bank Since July, 1971 when he succeeded Mills B. Lane. Speaking for the board, Mr. Lane, who remains a director, said: “The office of Chairman of the Board, which was held by Jack Glenn, and then by me, has been vacant since our retirement from the bank. During the three years since Dick Kattel was made president, he has demon strated exceptional ability and leadership and has made a remarkable place for himself in the banking industry. It could not be more fitting then, that he hold the office of Chairman of the Board as well as that of President and head of the bank.” The Citizens and Southern National Bank has 88 branches in six Georgia communities.
