Arlington-based Worthington Bank has welcomed back Gary Price as its new chief executive officer. He rejoins Worthington Bank after a brief retirement from his role as its market president in Colleyville. Greg Morse, the current CEO, has been promoted to executive chairman of the board.

“The Worthington Bank team is happy to welcome Gary Price back into the leadership team,” Morse says. “His deep history with the bank and strategic outlook make him perfectly suited for the role of CEO, and I am excited to see how he will further propel the institution under his leadership.”

During his 14-year tenure with Worthington Bank, Price served as the president of the Colleyville market, where he helped establish the bank in Northeast Tarrant County, developed a team of experienced bankers and built strong relationships with clients throughout the area.

“As CEO, my primary priority will be to grow and strengthen client relationships,” Price says. “My goal for our bank is to take advantage of our strengths, which start with our experienced local bankers and include a strong board of directors and access to resources of a strong parent company. In addition, I want to continue nurturing our company culture and ensuring our team is technologically proficient from top to bottom. Worthington Bank will be striving for smart, strategic growth.”

As executive chairman of the board, Morse’s new focus will be to serve as a conduit between the board of directors and Worthington Bank leadership. He has more than 24 years of service at Worthington Bank.

Established in 2002, Worthington Bank operates five branches in Tarrant and Denton counties.
