November 6, 2024

Henderson, TX - VeraBank is pleased to announce the promotion of Executive Vice President - Chief Lending Officer, Michael Moores, to President of VeraBank. Moores will oversee lending, mortgage banking, loan operations and servicing, and wealth management.

“This promotion has been three decades in the making and Michael is a natural fit,” said VeraBank CEO Brad Tidwell. “As Michael steps into the role of president, I’m confident his leadership, strategic vision and unwavering commitment to nurturing relationships will pave the way for the bank’s continued stability and success. His solid foundation and keen understanding of all facets of banking, and role as a mentor and friend to many, position VeraBank to continue thriving as a cornerstone community bank well into the future under his direction.”

A 31-year banker at VeraBank, Moores joined the former Citizens National Bank, in the fall of 1993. A lifelong Henderson resident, Michael has held key leadership positions both within the bank and throughout the East Texas community. He currently serves as president of the Henderson Independent School District Foundation and actively participates as a member of First Baptist Church, Henderson. He has been a 30-year member and past president of the Henderson Lions Club. Additionally, he has held terms on the board of the Henderson Economic Development Corporation and is a former City of Henderson Council member. Moores has been happily married to his wife Lori for 26 years, and they take pride in being parents to three college-aged children.

“Michael is a highly regarded leader in the community banking profession and personifies VeraBank’s commitment to delivering a true, genuine banking experience,” said Tidwell.

Michael is a Certified Public Account (CPA) and holds a BBA in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin. He is also a graduate of Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University, a graduate of the American Bankers Association National Commercial Lending Graduate School, and the Graduate School of Bank Investments and Financial Management at the University of South Carolina.

“As I embark on this new journey, I’m truly thankful for the pillars in our community who laid the foundation for a thriving community bank and the visionary leadership of past bank presidents. Together, their efforts continue to inspire us as we build on the guiding principles and hard work that have led to VeraBank’s success for more than 90 years,” said Moores.
