Mississippi Land Bank is cooperatively-owned, which means our members share in the profits generated from our lending activity in the form of patronage dividends and have a voice in the business decisions for the association. At our annual stockholder meeting, members have the opportunity to vote for their board of directors. This year, two of our board members were re-elected to their positions: Larry Davis in the Cleveland territory and Dr. Mac Alan Blaine in the Starkville territory.

At this year’s Annual Stockholders Meeting, Board Chairman Abbott Myers recognized outgoing directors, James Gordon Robinson and Travis Satterfield for their service to the Land Bank. We are so thankful to have had both of these great men serve and direct the work of our association.
