INDIANA, Pa.― First Commonwealth Financial Corporation (NYSE: FCF) has announced planned changes to its Board of Directors following its upcoming annual meeting of shareholders in April.

Retiring from the board are David S. Dahlmann, Johnston A. Glass and Robert J. Ventura. Additionally, Patricia A. Husic has elected not to stand for reelection. All four directors will be leaving the board following the annual meeting.

“We want to thank all these outstanding board members, who have provided tremendously meaningful service to our Board of Directors,” said Jon Gorney, Chairman of First Commonwealth’s Board of Directors. “We appreciate all the years of great guidance, knowledge and leadership they have offered our board. Not only did they bring significant expertise and counsel to our organization, they are outstanding people and will be missed.”

Dahlmann formerly served as Chairman of the Board of the Corporation (2006–2021). He was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Southwest Bank, which was acquired by First Commonwealth Bank in 1998.

Glass, a retired banking executive, is a former Vice Chairman of First Commonwealth Financial Corporation, and former President and CEO of First Commonwealth Bank (1997 to 2005).

Ventura, the Executive Managing Director of Ventura Group, LLC, an investment banking firm in Pittsburgh, served as a director of GA Financial, Inc. from 1998 and joined First Commonwealth’s Board in 2004 at the completion of its acquisition of GA Financial, Inc.

Husic, a co-founder of Centric Financial Corporation (“Centric”) in 2007, served as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a Director of Centric until its acquisition by First Commonwealth in 2023. Prior to founding Centric, Ms. Husic served as President, COO and Director of Vartan Bank from 2005 until its acquisition by Centric in 2007.

“It has been a privilege to work under the stewardship of Dave, Bob, John and Patti,” First Commonwealth CEO Mike Price said. “Their counsel has made me and our bank better and will help shape our path forward in the years to come.”

First Commonwealth also announced that Todd D. Brice, former CEO of Indiana-based S&T Bancorp, has been nominated for election to the board at FCF’s annual Board of Directors meeting in April.

“With the departure of four board members, including three with significant executive leadership experience in the financial industry, adding someone to our board with extensive leadership experience in banking, deep roots in the Indiana, PA, community and a robust knowledge of the markets First Commonwealth serves was critical,” said Gorney. “Todd was an obvious choice and we are excited about his nomination.”

Brice, 62, currently serves as a Business Development Officer for The Reschini Group in Indiana, PA. He served as Chief Executive Officer of S&T Bancorp from 2019 to 2021 and President/Chief Executive Officer (2008-2019). Brice became President of S&T Bancorp in 2004. He formerly served as a Board Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (Pittsburgh branch). Additionally, he served on the board directors for Seton Hill University and the Pennsylvania Mountain Care Network, and was the former Board Chair of the Indiana Regional Medical Center and Board Director of the Indiana County YMCA.

A graduate of Grove City College in Grove City, PA with a degree in Business Administration, Brice also earned a Business Certificate from the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
