Sarasota, Fla. December 8, 2011 -- Insignia Bank CEO recently returned from the quarterly meeting of the FDIC Advisory Committee on Community Banking in Washington, D.C., where he has served as a member for the last two years. Acting Chairman Marty Gruenberg, recently replacing former Chairman, Sheila Bair, presided over the meeting. During the meeting, Mr. Brown was invited by the FDIC, along with about half of the other board members, to serve an additional year beyond his original two year term while the regulatory agency starts to rotate committee members.

This quarter's meeting included topics such as:

• The Bright Future of Community Banking Model
• Use of Technology for Customers
• Capital and Concentration Risk
• Efficiencies in the Examination Process

Mr. Brown has given many speeches at local clubs, and civic organizations on the topics discussed at these meetings and how they might impact property values and the overall impact on our local economy. He is willing to do so upon request through Insignia Bank by contacting him or his assistant, Cheryl Angelotti at 941-329-1514.
