Kevin Shivers
President and CEO
Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers (PACB)
Kevin Shivers was selected as president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers (PACB) in April 2019. PACB’s mission is to preserve, promote, and protect the community banking industry and the people who work to make the financial dreams of their communities and neighbors become realities. It represents the professional interests of more than 70 community banks and 14,000 members of the community banking industry in Pennsylvania.
As president and CEO, Shivers leads PACB’s efforts to increase the organization’s relevance and value to Pennsylvania’s community banking industry by offering programs and services that keep banks competitive and thriving, raising the impact of advocacy efforts in behalf of the Commonwealth’s community banking professionals and consumers, and working to strengthen PACB’s membership base and extensive network of donors, sponsors, partners, and other stakeholders.
Although Shivers is new to PACB’s leadership team, he has been involved with community banking for nearly his entire life. Shivers was raised in a community-banking household and spent 17 years leading a statewide small-business organization where he had the opportunity to work closely PACB members, leaders, and staff. Through the years, Shivers partnered with PACB on a variety of privacy, tax, and regulatory issues at the federal and state level.
Shivers brings extensive experience in association management, including strategic planning, public policy, and advocacy. Previously, Shivers served as executive director of the Pennsylvania Medical Society’s Specialty Society Management Services, where he led a 25-person team that supported over 30 medical-specialty and professional trade associations. Prior to that, he served the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for nearly 17 years, first as state director and later as executive state director. Before joining NFIB, Shivers served on the personal staff of Pennsylvania governors Tom Ridge and Mark Schweiker.
