OKLAHOMA CITY – The full Senate has given approval to the nomination of Matthew Caldwell to serve as a member of the Oklahoma Industrial Finance Authority and the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority. The nomination was carried by Sen. Mark Allen, R-Spiro.
Caldwell currently serves as the Oklahoma regional president of the National Bank of Sallisaw. In his role, he oversees the day-to-day operations and lending activities of the bank, including the divisional loan portfolio. He also manages the $40 million investment portfolio and $30 million loan portfolio, ensuring the bank’s strategic goals are achieved. He’s a Certified Public Accountant and serves as a board member for the Sallisaw Economic Authority. He’s the past president of the Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce and the Southeast Oklahoma Bankers Association.
“Matthew is a financial rockstar, so it’s no wonder the governor nominated him to serve on these two boards,” Allen said. “The work he’s done at the National Bank of Sallisaw is impressive, especially how he’s expanded the bank into a new geographic market by building the necessary infrastructure and promoting their ag loan product. I know he’ll bring the same business sense and enthusiasm to both of these new leadership roles, and it’s been an honor to carry his nomination.”
The Oklahoma Industrial Finance Authority promotes the expansion of industry and manufacturing activity in the state by making loans to industrial development agencies for the acquisition of real property and equipment to be used by responsible industrial tenants. The Oklahoma Development Finance Authority provides technical advice and financing for Oklahoma’s industrial, educational, agricultural, recreational, cultural, pollution control and governmental needs.
