TURNAGE NAMED ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT FOR NORTH STATE BANK

July 25, 2007



Raleigh, N.C. – North State Bank vice president and deposit support manager Debra Adcock announced that Amy Turnage has been named assistant vice president for North State Bank.

“Amy has been a tremendous asset to our deposit operations department since she joined the bank in 2004,” said Adcock. “She demonstrates a high level of service, to customers both external and internal. I congratulate her on this well-deserved promotion.”

Turnage has over 13 years of banking experience and came to North State Bank from Fidelity Bank, where she served as deposit specialist for four years. Turnage is actively involved in her church as well as the PTA at her children’s school.

Founded in 2000, North State is a full-service community bank, serving Wake and New Hanover counties through five full-service Wake County offices and through one loan production office in New Hanover County. Plans are being developed to open a new full-service office at 16 W. Martin Street in downtown Raleigh in the third quarter 2007. Construction is underway for a full-service office at 1411 Commonwealth Drive in Wilmington to open in the fourth quarter 2007.
