Bank of Botetourt Board of Directors Elects Tommy L. Moore As New Chairman
Buchanan, VA – Bank of Botetourt Board of Directors voted to elect Tommy L. Moore to serve as its new
Chairman. Moore has been on the Board since 1982 and currently serves as the Circuit Court Clerk for
Botetourt County.

Moore served four years active duty as a JAG Officer in the United States Marine Corps and 32 years in
the Marine Corps Reserve. He is an alumnus of Hampden Sydney College (1972) and the University of
Virginia School of Law (1975). Following active duty, he practiced law in beautiful Botetourt from 1979- 1991

Tommy was elected to be the Circuit Court Clerk for Botetourt County. He has been active
in the Virginia Court Clerks Association and has for the past 30 years served on its Education Committee
and Convention Committee. He has also served as President of the Association. Each year, he enjoys
dressing in period costume as John May, the First Clerk for educational events that are held within the
Town of Fincastle.

Tommy serves on the Board of Directors for the Botetourt Education Foundation, the Botetourt
Resource Center, Inc. and Limestone Park Ministries, Inc. Since 1979 he has been actively involved with
Mill Creek Baptist Church, serving as a teacher, trustee and deacon and in various other leadership and
mission positions. Moore has served on numerous boards throughout the region including the Western
Virginia Historical Society and the Virginia Western Advisory Board, where he served as chair.

Bank President and CEO, G. Lyn Hayth, III stated “Throughout the years, Tommy has helped to provide a
conservative approach to growth for the bank. The Board and I are looking forward to working with him
as Chair. He will lead with steadfast guidance and care for the bank and the communities in which we
are represented.” Moore’s relationship with the bank began several years before becoming a director,
when the late Honorable George E. Honts III loaned him money to purchase his first Bank of Botetourt
(BORT now, then Bank of Buchanan) stock. His goal as Chairman is for Bank of Botetourt to remain an
independent community bank.

Moore resides in the Fincastle area of Botetourt County with his wife Sandy and looks forward to
celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year. Together, they have two adult daughters, Ashley
and Sara and four grandchildren
