Campbell & Cuculic Stepping Down From Shelby Savings Bank Board

Two longtime friends and members of the Shelby Savings Bank board of directors are both retiring.

 

In a press release, it was announced yesterday that James Campbell and Gail Cuculic will both be stepping down from the board of directors. Campbell has spent more than 35 years leading Shelby County Savings Association/Shelby Savings Bank, and has been the driving force behind the creation of Shelby Savings Association, then as chairman of the board and the last two years as chairman emeritus.

 

Cuculic served Shelby Savings Bank as president for seven years, vice chairman 20 years, and for the last two years vice chairman emeritus.

 

A come-and-go reception for the two will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Saturday, May 31 at the John Dean Windham Civic Center in Center.

 

Campbell and a group of like-minded visionaries banded together to organize Shelby County Savings Association in the late 1970s. He was already leading several successful ventures, including General Shelters and the Center Livestock Auction, but he saw a need for a lending institution that would serve the local needs of East Texans. 

 

Originally a CPA, Cuculic had worked in the poultry industry and the insulation business before joining Shelby Savings Bank in 1984, first as vice president and then replacing original president Joe Fomby.

 

Shelby County Savings officially opened on July 27, 1982, in a portable building on Austin Street, with three employees and $1.5 million in assets. Today the bank has 78 employees in four locations and, as of Feb. 28, 2014, $264,888,626 in working assets.
