Scott Davis, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Field & Main Bank, has been elected to serve as chair of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce for the 2025 term. Davis succeeds Candace McGraw, CEO of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, whose term expired on September 30, 2024.
Davis brings decades of experience as a banker and executive as chairman and CEO of Field & Main Bank, a Kentucky-charted community bank headquartered in Davis’s hometown of Henderson. He became chairman and CEO in 2006 when the company was known as Ohio Valley Bank. Throughout his tenure, he has led the company through a merger, and an insurance company acquisition, and a company renaming and rebranding. His leadership has helped grow the company’s size and footprint to five banking centers in Kentucky and one in Indiana.
He began his banking career in 1981 as a trust officer for Field & Main Bank (formerly Ohio Valley Bank). After a short stint in Louisiana in 1988, Davis returned to Field & Main Bank in 1989 to lead the bank’s administrative organization and manage multiple family holdings.
Davis completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and graduated from the Graduate School of Banking at Louisiana State University and the Cannon Financial Institute’s Trust Administration School.
Davis has served on the Kentucky Chamber Board of Directors for many years and serves several community organizations, including Henderson Leadership Initiative and the Welborn Baptist Foundation.
“Scott’s extensive experience in community banking and his proven leadership at Field & Main Bank make him an invaluable asset to the Chamber,” said Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts. “Our organization is looking forward to the accomplishments we will achieve in the next year with him as chair.”
“I’m honored to serve as the chair of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and look forward to the year ahead,” said Davis. “As a community banker, I look forward to leveraging my experience to support the Chamber’s mission of advancing Kentucky’s business climate. Together, we’ll work to foster economic growth and create opportunities that benefit the Commonwealth.”
Condrad Daniels, president of HJI Supply Chain Solutions, will serve as chair-elect for 2025.
