Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance - pointing out corporate directors who should and shouldn't be elected anywhere. This is my attempt to keep track of good people for board of directors and keep track of people who should be avoided.

Three banks suspend TARP dividends and common dividends

It's probably the right move if you're that strapped, but who is THAT strapped?

Pacific Capital Bancorp(PCBC 3.39, +0.08, +2.42%) of Santa Barbara, Calif.,
Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida (SBCF 2.32, -0.27, -10.43%) Stuart, Fla.,
and Midwest Banc Holdings Inc. (MBHI 1.01, -0.07, -6.48%) of Melrose Park, Ill.

The PCBC board is pretty much local people, and there's been some turnover in the management ranks so I wont tar these people. But doesnt that look like a good stock to short.


SBCF hasnt had much management or board turnover, so I'm a bit more suspicious here.

Dennis S. Hudson III
Chairman
Also on board of Florida Public Utilities Corp (FPU)
He is also a member of the board of directors of the Miami Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. (eek!)

Dale M. Hudson
Vice Chairman

Stephen E. Bohner

Jeffrey C. Bruner

John H. Crane

T. Michael Crook
He was previously a member of Barnett Bank of Martin County’s Board of Directors for 11 years.
But you gotta love the name.

Hugh Gilbert Culbreth Jr.

Christopher E. Fogal

Jeffrey S. Furst
Mr. Furst was elected Property Appraiser for St. Lucie County, Florida in 2000. He has been a real estate broker since 1973 and is owner of Sun Realty, Inc. in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Now that's interesting. He's on the Board of the bank, The appraiser for the property, and the owner of a local realty! *DANGER WILL ROBINSON*

A. Douglas Gilbert

Dennis S. Hudson Jr.

Thomas E. Rossin
Lead Director

Thomas H. Thurlow Jr.

Edwin E. Walpole III


Wow - three Hudsons on the Board. Two with the first name too. Gee, what's the odds that happens without them all being related. Oh yeah, this board is looking out for shareholders.



Midwest Banc Holdings - I'm not going to name this board - they booted the old CEO and got in new blood.
