Board of Trustees

 

Stephen R. Miller currently serves as President and Chief Operating Officer (and Director) of Fulton Bank of New Jersey (FBNJ- a $3.7 billion, 65 branch commercial bank that currently has offices in 15 New Jersey counties), having been appointed to that position in October 2011.  Fulton Bank of New Jersey is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fulton Financial Corporation.  Prior to that Steve served as Chairman, President, and CEO of Skylands Community Bank, a separate affiliate of Fulton Financial Corporation, which merged with The Bank in 2011 when Steve moved into his current position.

Steve (a New Jersey resident for over 63 years) has served in many other capacities since 1993 when he joined The Bank of Gloucester County, one of the five community banks that were merged into and became part of the current Fulton Bank of New Jersey.  These positions include Lending, Branch Administration, and various other Executive Offices.    Prior to his current employment Steve had stints at several other New Jersey banks in a career that goes back over 42 years.  Steve has always been a strong advocate for community banking and during his career has participated in many community activities and events on behalf of the banks he has worked for believing it is truly important for financial institutions, (which derive their prosperity from the community) to give back in great measure.

Steve is most fortunate that his vocational advocacy has always paired well with his 38 year membership and involvement in the Masonic fraternity and has served as a Trustee on the Board of the Verdon R. Skipper Learning Center for close to 10 years.  “It is our Masonic mission to support each other in times of need and to help society and the world at large through our words, actions and deeds; the creation and ongoing support of our Children’s Learning Center is but one example of being faithful to this mission.”
