Chatsworth, Ga., August 28, 2026 - First National Community Bank (FNCB), the wholly owned subsidiary of First Chatsworth Bankshares, Inc., is proud to announce that it has been named "Best Bank" for the second consecutive year in the 2026 Dalton Daily Citizen Reader's Choice Awards. FNCB team members Jennifer Parker and Jennifer Everett were also recognized individually, with Parker being named "Best Boss" and Everett earning "Best Teller" honors.

The recognition is a meaningful reflection of the relationships FNCB has built throughout the Dalton community and the dedication of its employees who provide personal service and local decision-making to customers every day.

"We are incredibly grateful to the readers of the Dalton Daily Citizen for recognizing First National Community Bank as Best Bank for the second year in a row. This award belongs to our entire team. Our employees care deeply about our customers and the communities we serve, and that commitment is evident in the relationships they build every day. We are also especially proud to celebrate Jennifer Everett and Jennifer Parker for the well-deserved recognition they have received," said Gary Middleton, Chief Banking Officer of FNCB.

The awards represent the strength of the bank's connection to the community made each and every day at the bank's two Dalton branches as well as at its mortgage office in downtown Dalton.

"Being recognized by the people we have the privilege of serving is one of the greatest honors a community bank can receive. Winning Best Bank for the second consecutive year, along with the recognition of Jennifer Parker and Jennifer Everett, is a wonderful reflection of the people and relationships that make FNCB special. We are proud to be part of the Dalton community and grateful for the trust our customers place in us," said Brad Ramsey, Market President for Whitfield and Murray Counties at FNCB.

Parker, whose leadership earned her the 'Best Boss' distinction, also expressed her appreciation for the recognition.

"Being named Best Boss is such an honor, and I'm incredibly grateful to the team and customers who made this recognition possible. I'm fortunate to work alongside such dedicated people, and I'm proud to be part of a bank that puts our customers and community first," said Jennifer Parker, Branch Manager for FNCB's Northgate Drive and Thornton Ave. branches.

Everett, who was named Best Teller, said the recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the community she serves.

"I'm incredibly honored to be named Best Teller and I'm grateful to our customers for their support and trust, and I'm proud to be part of a team that truly cares about the people we serve," said Jennifer Everett, Teller.

To celebrate this year's Reader's Choice honors, FNCB will host customer appreciation celebrations at both of its Dalton branch locations. Additional details will be announced as plans are finalized.
