The American Bankers Association said its top lobbyist, Floyd Stoner, is retiring at the end of the year after working at the association for over 25 years.
"The ABA is in good hands with its new leadership and now seemed the right time for a transition,” Stoner said.
ABA president and chief executive Frank Keating said Stoner would be missed. “The banking industry owes Floyd an immeasurable debt of gratitude for his tireless service and steady hand as its chief lobbyist during such a critical time,” Keating said.
Floyd directed legislative affairs and public policy.
Going forward, Ken Clayton will become chief counsel and senior vice president of legislative affairs. And James Ballentine will serve as senior vice president of congressional relations and political affairs.
