Last month, BankSouth was pleased to announce that Keith Prather has been promoted from VP, Relationship Manager to Market President for our Watkinsville branch. Before being appointed as Market President, Keith served at other community banks in several capacities including leadership and consumer and commercial lending.

Keith loves to be part of a community bank because he loves getting to know each one of his customers personally so he can offer them the best financial guidance for their situation. He is happiest when he can help his customers move through life knowing they are on the right financial footing every step of the way.

“Keith brings over 20+ years of banking, lending, and leadership experience throughout his career. We look forward to his continued success and building relationships within the Watkinsville market and community,” said BankSouth Chief Banking Officer, Daryn Russell.

A proud graduate of the University of Georgia, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Economics with a concentration in Management and Finance. He is also very active in the community by serving on the boards of several different associations. Stop by and congratulate Keith the next time you drive by your local community bank in Watkinsville!
