Governor’s Appointee has Ties to Quincy

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens announces Lee Keith will be appointed Acting Director for the Division of Financial Institutions.

The press release from the Governor’s Office says Keith has a storied career in turning around troubled Missouri banks in towns such as Sullivan, Columbia and Springfield. The Governor says Keith’s work in saving small-town community banks has helped ensure these communities continue creating jobs.

Keith recently finished his final turnaround for Mercantile Bank in Quincy, Illinois.
