LCNB Corp. names Fifth Third's former chief legal officer to its board

8/19/2026

The case for the hire is clear enough. (NASDAQ: LCNB) has appointed Susan B.

Zaunbrecher, who retired as Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of Fifth Third Bancorp, to the boards of the holding company and its subsidiary LCNB National Bank, effective August 18, 2026.

The risk is that M&A and securities-law expertise drawn from one of the country's leading financial institutions sits at some distance from the relationship-banking model that has defined LCNB since LCNB National Bank's founding in 1877.

What the appointment signals Zaunbrecher brings more than three decades of experience in law, financial services, and corporate governance.
