H.R. No. 19
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Pavillion Bank has served the citizens of Richardson
and North Dallas with the utmost distinction for more than 20 years,
and this dynamic financial institution expanded its vision for the
future by relocating to a state-of-the-art facility in October
2005; and
WHEREAS, Chartered as Pavillion National Bank in 1982, the
enterprise was formed by a group of investors who shared a common
vision of building a community-centered, neighborhood bank; and
WHEREAS, Pavillion National Bank opened its doors to the
public in January 1983 and, thanks to the efforts of its
knowledgeable and dedicated staff, board members, and officers, the
facility soon gained a positive reputation in the community;
personal service and stability remain the hallmarks of the bank and
its staff today, and these qualities have engendered a sense of
loyalty among its customers; and
WHEREAS, In 1987, the bank was purchased by a Texas-owned,
two-bank holding company that elected to transition the bank from a
nationally chartered institution to a state chartered bank in 1990;
since that time, the bank has been known as Pavillion Bank, a name
that through its simplicity evokes the hometown feel that its
founders initially sought; and
WHEREAS, Many individuals have contributed to the success and
growth of Pavillion Bank, and figuring prominently among them is
Stephen K Storey, the bank's chairman of the board, CEO, and
president for the past 20 years; other current officers include
executive vice president Chris Derrington, senior vice president
Robert W. Johnston, vice president/cashier Kristy Barton, vice
president Debbie Childre, assistant vice president Diana J. Busby,
and banking officer Marlena Bush; and
WHEREAS, Pavillion Bank also relies on an astute and able
board of directors to shepherd the bank and make sound decisions for
the future; currently serving as board members are Stephen K
Storey, Rucie Odom, Hershel H. Pierce, Marshal W. Dooley, Tony
Goolsby, and Rock Pletcher; and
WHEREAS, The foundation of Pavillion Bank's success was
established early on through the vision and commitment of those who
served on the bank's original board of directors, including Charles
Laningham, Marshal W. Dooley, Michael Scheff, Dr. Russell Euke,
Billy Swango, Clyde Hensley, Paul Lowe, Chris Moore, Max
Rosenbloom, Hershel H. Pierce, Ted Scherer, Marty Glass, and Nick
Renneker; and
WHEREAS, The bank's original officers, namely president
Clyde Hensley, vice president Hal Gilley, vice president/cashier
Tom Bransford, assistant vice president Sue Dorsey, and vice
president Carolyn Grady, are equally deserving of praise for their
admirable work in support of Pavillion Bank; and
WHEREAS, Although the location and building are new, the
quality of service and experience will remain the same for
Pavillion Bank's customers and clients; the future is indeed bright
with promise for this Texas business, and its success reflects the
hard work, dedication, and skill of all those associated with
Pavillion Bank; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby recognize Pavillion Bank
for its outstanding service to the citizens of Richardson and North
Dallas and extend best wishes to the many individuals who have
contributed to the success of this notable institution; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Pavillion Bank as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Goolsby
