Atlanta lawyer joins BB&T board of directors

Glover, an Atlanta lawyer and commercial real estate developer, joins the board after 10 years as a director of Branch Banking and Trust Company, the principal subsidiary of BB&T Corporation.

"Because Litt has been a member of our bank board for a decade now, he clearly knows our organization well," said BB&T Chairman John Allison said in a release. "By the same token, we've gotten to know and respect him very much as well. He'll undoubtedly be a great addition to our corporate board of directors."

Glover, 66, is president and a director of Glover & Davis, P.A., in west Georgia.

Glover is the second addition to the 19-member board of directors this year. In June, Piedmont Natural Gas Chief Executive Officer Tom Skains was elected to the board.
