In his role, First Community said, “Melson ensures that risk in the loan portfolio is appropriately monitored and managed.”
Melson (pictured above) brings with him 45 years in the banking industry and eight of those years spent as a bank regulator for the Arkansas State Bank Department.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our company in this capacity,” Melson said in the release. “Our department consists of only three other employees who do admirable work and are dedicated to their job responsibilities.”
Melson has completed numerous banking schools and graduated from the Graduate Banking School of the South, Louisiana State University in 1991.
