In 2005, Dick Valentine joined 52 other Georgia bankers to start something meaningful in Hall County. Now, United Community Bank’s veteran banking leader, regional president and CEO is retiring and making way for longtime Gainesville banker Will White. Valentine’s final day with the bank was Thursday after more than a decade at the community bank.
