INDIANA, Pa., Oct. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Commonwealth Bank announced today that Pennsylvania State House Majority
Leader Dave Reed will join its senior leadership team as Regional President.
Reed will join First Commonwealth as he wraps up his eighth term as a State Representative, representing the 62nd Legislative
District in Indiana County since 2003.
In the position of Regional President, Reed will serve as a driving force of teamwork and collaboration within Indiana and the
surrounding communities to cultivate relationships for the purpose of business development and industry advocacy.
Reed’s proven leadership and intimate understanding of the economic landscape of Western and Central Pennsylvania make him the
ideal candidate for a regional leadership role, according to First Commonwealth CEO Mike Price.
“Dave is deeply invested in Western and Central Pennsylvania with a remarkable commitment to the economy, the issues, and the
people,” Price said. “His accomplishments both within the 62nd District and from the House floor as the Majority Leader will have a
lasting impact on our communities. Dave is a model leader to serve as a primary business development catalyst throughout the
region, and we’re privileged to have him join the First Commonwealth team.”
During his time as State Representative, Reed was selected to serve as the Chairman of the House Majority Policy Committee in
2010. In November 2014, he was elected House Majority Leader of the PA House of Representatives and was re-elected to that position
in 2016.
“As the next chapter in my life is about to begin, it was important to me to be able to stay involved in the economic future of
our state and our region,” Reed said. “Headquartered in Indiana County, First Commonwealth Bank has grown into a multi-state
financial powerhouse, and I’m looking forward to helping grow the bank and the communities it serves. I’m excited and grateful for
the opportunity to be part of the future of this fine institution.”
Reed is a graduate of Homer Center High School with a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a master’s
degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He resides in White Township, Indiana County, with his wife, Heather, and their three
children Joshua, Gracie and Ellie.
