Banker back on trust company board

VENICE — Prominent area banker Tramm Hudson has rejoined the board of directors at Caldwell Trust Co., which manages more than $800 million in assets for clients nationwide.

Hudson originally joined the Caldwell board in 2007, but left when he returned to a banking position.

“Now that he has retired, we are gratified to have him with us again,” Caldwell Trust President and CEO Kelly Caldwell says in the release. “Tramm brings more than a quarter-century of knowledge in financial services and markets, acquired working at the highest levels with some of our most respected banks.”

Hudson began his banking career in 1981 and moved to Sarasota in 1986. He's a founding director and organizer of Enterprise National Bank of Sarasota, and has held executive positions in the region with Provident Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Whitney Bank and Stearns Bank.

“I have known Caldwell since its inception and have always respected the family and what they stand for,” Hudson says in the statement.

Hudson is active in several community organizations, and was appointed to the Sarasota County Public Hospital Board in March.

Caldwell Trust Co., founded in 1993, has offices in Venice and Sarasota.
