Rangeley resident named to Franklin Savings board

FARMINGTON — James Eastlack, of Rangeley, recently joined the Franklin Savings Bank Board of Directors. After longtime board member, Richard Walker retired from the board late last year, replacing the seat with a Rangeley community member.

“It has been a true pleasure to serve as a corporator for FSB,” Eastlack said. “I’m humbled to be offered the opportunity to now serve on the board made up of other business leaders ultimately wanting to support the bank in its ongoing services to the expanding customer base.”
Eastlack owns Morton Furbish Agency in Rangeley and is a broker for the agency, which manages real estate and vacation rentals in the Rangeley Lakes region. Over the years, he has served the Rangeley community in a variety of roles including Rangeley Rotary, Rangeley Region Health Center Board Member, United Way, and is currently a director for the Kennebec Valley Board of Realtors.
“Jamie has been a noticeable corporator over the years and has never been bashful in sharing his thoughts around our business of banking in an effort to help us be the best bank that we can be,” said Franklin Savings Bank President and CEO Timothy Thompson. “We are excited to now have Jamie on the Board of Directors where he is directly supporting the bank’s continued success.”
Eastlack lives in Rangeley with his wife Beth and their daughters.
