In addition to our local leadership teams, we maintain community bank boards in each of our local markets.  The Tompkins Community Bank Corporate Board of Directors and Officers has empowered our local market directors to oversee important business, credit, and strategic decisions in their region.  In turn, Tompkins benefits from the insights and support of local directors who are directly connected to the communities we serve.
