Access National Bank brought on Mark E. Wright as senior vice president of its commercial lending team.

“As consolidation in the industry brings increasing changes to the banking landscape, it is easy to recognize the value community banks provide to local businesses,” Wright said. “Access is a distinguished market leader in delivering tailored solutions to its clients, and I am delighted to be part of the team.”
