"We are very pleased to welcome Mark Caplan to our Board of Directors," says Edward Barry, Chief Executive Officer at Capital Bank N.A. "Caplan has been a staple in helping the Baltimore community and brings extensive local business insight to Capital Bank. His acumen in building a thriving enterprise over decades will serve our small- to mid-sized businesses well."

Caplan joins Fred Lewis, who became a Board member towards the end of 2018. "The addition of Caplan and Lewis to our Board demonstrates our commitment to building expertise in the broader territories around the DC metropolitan area, in order to serve our clients in their locations," adds Barry.

Lewis is founder of The Dominion Group, one of the most active purchasers of distressed properties in Maryland. He provides daily strategic oversight in all The Dominion Group companies with a special focus on operations and finance.
