Sioberg joined the boards of Franklin Financial and F&M Trust in 1982.

He was appointed vice chairman of the board in 2002 and served as chairman since January 2003. G. Warren Elliott was elected as vice chairman last year and replaces Sioberg as chairman of the board. Sioberg, vice president of Martin & Martin, Inc., was re-elected to the board for the 9th time in 2009.

“Over the last 29 years, Chuck has shown integrity, professionalism and wisdom during his service on the board. We are particularly fortunate to have him serve as our chairman for the past 9 years,” commented William E. Snell, Jr., president and CEO. “We will miss his leadership, insights and contributions. We express our sincere gratitude to him and wish him the very best in his retirement.”
