Plumas Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plumas Bancorp, announced the promotion of Jack Prescott to executive vice president and chief banking officer, recognizing his leadership and deep commercial banking expertise as the bank continues to deliver on its mission of making banking both personal and powerful for the businesses, individuals and communities it serves.
The announcement comes as Plumas Bank celebrates its 45th anniversary and the successful acquisition of Redding, California-based Cornerstone Community Bank in July 2025.
In his new role, Prescott is guiding the strategic direction for Plumas Bank’s lending and client services teams, working closely with the executive team to continue growing the bank’s presence across Northern Nevada and Northern California.
“Jack’s promotion reflects his strategic vision, leadership and deep commitment to our mission,” said Andrew J. Ryback, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bank. “As we celebrate 45 years of service, his role is integral in advancing our ability to deliver robust financial solutions to local businesses, regional agricultural operations, and mid-sized enterprises.”
Prescott joined Plumas Bank in April 2023 as senior vice president and commercial lending manager, bringing more than 35 years of commercial banking experience. His appointment followed the 2025 retirement of Plumas Bank’s former Chief Banking Officer BJ North.
Prescott holds a bachelor’s degree in business and agricultural economics from the University of Nevada, Reno and graduated with distinction from the American Bankers Association Commercial Lending Graduate School of Banking.
A Reno resident for more than four decades, Prescott has served on numerous boards and community organizations, including the Reno/Sparks Chamber of Commerce and a past board chair for EDAWN (Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada). He currently serves on the board of directors for NewWest Community Capital, a community development financial institution dedicated to affordable housing initiatives across the Western states.
“I’m honored to take on this expanded role at a time of meaningful growth and community investment for Plumas Bank,” said Prescott. “Our mission has always been about supporting local businesses and families. We are the only community bank headquartered in Reno and this region serves as a critical hub for our interconnected rural communities.”
