On behalf of the Citizens Bank of the South (CBOTS) Board of Directors, CEO David Brooker recently announced the promotion of Lynde Schubert to Corporate Vice President, Baldwin County Market President, in Milledgeville.
This decision follows the recent retirement of William (Bill) Jones, who led the Milledgeville office since its opening in 2017.
“Lynde’s promotion signifies our continued commitment to being a strong community partner and an excellent choice in banking for Milledgeville and the surrounding area,” Brooker said.
“Recommended by Bill (Jones) in 2024, she has proven her dedication to our team, vision, and growth strategy.
She understands our commitment to prioritizing customers and communities. Not only will Lynde lead Milledgeville well, but she will also be an asset to our executive management team, bank wide.”
Schubert brings more than 25 years of industry experience to her expanded role with CBOTS. She began her banking career in loan processing and operations, she progressed through several executive positions with area banks. She joined the CBOTS team in 2024 and brings a broad understanding of federal banking regulations and programs, internet banking implementation, web maintenance, and branch management to her new role.
“I am grateful for the leadership opportunities that have prepared me for this professional role at CBOTS. I look forward to working alongside our team to serve the customers, businesses, and families who make this community so special,” Schubert said.
A graduate of the Georgia Banking School at the University of Georgia more than a decade ago, Schubert continued her education in finance through programs offered by the Community Bankers Association and Central Georgia Technical College. Slated to become president of the Exchange Club of Milledgeville this June, her résumé also reflects a strong commitment to volunteerism, including as the current president of Circle of Love, Inc.
Schubert said she also enjoys spending time with her daughters, lake life, and beach visits to St. Simons Island. A true servant leader, Schubert has also been involved with several local Chambers of Commerce and Rotary Club organizations and is a graduate of the 2024 Leadership Putnam class.
“This community has always been home to me.
Being born and raised in Baldwin County, with deep roots here, I care deeply about its success,” Schubert said.
“I am committed to building strong relationships, supporting local growth, and ensuring Citizens Bank of the South remains a trusted partner. I look forward to leading with integrity, purpose, and a continued focus on serving well.”
