HENDERSON, Tenn., April 19,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scott E. Latham, newly appointed chairman of the

Since 1997, Latham has served as president and CEO of the

organization representing the collective interests of commercial
banks doing business in Alabama,
which presently have assets exceeding $300
billion. Latham serves as the primary spokesman for the
banking industry in Alabama and
advocates for the industry and its stakeholders. He also lobbies at
the state and federal levels.
However, his dedication to the industry extends beyond his state
responsibilities. He is past chairman and a member of the Alliance
of State Bankers Associations, a division of the American Bankers
Association. His leadership in key committees within the American
Bankers Association, including the Government Relations Council and
the Grassroots and Advocacy Committee, reflects his commitment to
the industry's well-being. He is past chairman and a member of the
board of directors of the Graduate School of Banking of the South
at Louisiana State University.
Outside of banking, Latham prioritizes education and community
service. He serves as chairman of FHU's board of trustees, and he
has been involved with organizations such as Agape of Central
Alabama and Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes.
Latham holds an MBA from Auburn University
at Montgomery and a B.S. in accounting and business
administration from Alabama Christian
College. He also graduated from the Graduate School of
Banking of the South at Louisiana State
University.
Faith and family are central to Latham's life. He and his wife,
Michelle, have two daughters, two sons-in-law and one new grandson.
They are also active members of the University Church of Christ in
Montgomery, Alabama, where Latham
has served as an elder since 2008 and previously as treasurer for
ten years.
The mission of Freed-Hardeman
University is to help students develop their God-given
talents for His glory by empowering them with an education that
integrates Christian faith, scholarship and service. With locations
in Henderson and Memphis, FHU offers associate, bachelor's,
master's, specialist and doctoral degrees. More information is
