4 boards say farewell to Bill Townsend


NORTH HOUSTON — In an emotional farewell reception held last week, members of four local organizations gathered to thank Bill Townsend for his work on their behalf while he was an officer at North Houston Bank. Townsend has taken a new position at Prosperity Bank in the Woodlands, and will not be able to serve on the boards he previously helped, due to distance and legal requirements of the various boards.

Townsend was a board member and committee chair for the East Aldine Management District, President of the Aldine Scholarship Foundation, Chairman of the North Houston Greenspoint Chamber (now Houston Intercontinental Chamber), member of the Aldine Optimist Club, and the North Houston Economic Development Council. In addition, as a representative of North Houston Bank he was active in supporting a number of local social and youth organizations, such as Aldine YOUTH and the Aldine Greesnpoint YMCA.
