Lynde Schubert has been named corporate vice president, Baldwin County Market president of Citizens Bank of the South. 

This decision follows the recent retirement of William (Bill) Jones, who led the Milledgeville office since its opening in 2017.

Schubert brings more than 25 years of industry experience to her expanded role at CBOTS. She began her banking career in loan processing and operations, progressing to loan officer, assistant vice president and vice president with area banks. 

She has a broad understanding of federal banking regulations and programs, internet banking implementation, web maintenance, and branch management. Best known for meeting the diverse needs of her loan customers and employers, she joined the CBOTS team in 2024. Since that time, she has been a vital part of the bank’s growth and development — not only in Baldwin County, but across all markets.

A graduate of the Georgia Banking School at the University of Georgia more than a decade ago, Schubert continued her education in finance through programs offered by the Community Bankers Association and Central Georgia Technical College. Slated to become president of the Exchange Club of Milledgeville this June, her résumé reflects a strong commitment to volunteerism. She currently serves as President of Circle of Love Inc. A true servant leader, she has also been involved with area Chambers of Commerce and Rotary Club. 

A 2024 graduate of the Putnam Leadership class, she has invested significant personal and professional time in Greene and Putnam counties as well.

“I am grateful for the leadership opportunities that have prepared me for this professional role at CBOTS. I look forward to working alongside our team to serve the customers, businesses and families who make this community so special,” said Schubert. 

“Lynde’s promotion signifies our continued commitment to being a strong community partner and an excellent choice in banking for Milledgeville and the surrounding area. Recommended by Bill in 2024, she has proven her dedication to our team, vision, and growth strategy. She understands our commitment to prioritizing customers and communities. Not only will Lynde lead Milledgeville well, but she will also be an asset to our executive management team bank wide,” said chief executive officer David Brooker.

Born and raised on Lake Sinclair, Schubert enjoys spending time with her daughters, lake life, and beach visits to St. Simons Island.

She added: “This community has always been home to me. Being born and raised in Baldwin County, with deep roots here, I care deeply about its success. I am committed to building strong relationships, supporting local growth, and ensuring Citizens Bank of the South remains a trusted partner. I look forward to leading with integrity, purpose, and a continued focus on serving well.”
