FIRST UNION NAMES VA. BOARD

Four banking executives were named Tuesday to the board of First Union Corp. of Virginia, Roanoke-based successor to Dominion Bankshares Corp.

The board, also composed of the former directors of Dominion Bankshares, operates First Union and Dominion banks in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Nicholas F. Taubman of Roanoke, a Dominion director, has resigned from the board. Taubman, chairman of Advance Stores Co. Inc., had been on the Dominion board since July 1984.

First Union Corp. of Virginia was created when First Union Corp. of Charlotte, N.C., acquired Dominion on March 1. The new company, headquartered in Roanoke, operates First Union National Bank of Virginia.

Added to the board are:

John R. Georgius, president of First Union Corp., the parent holding company.

Benjamin P. Jenkins III, president and chief operating officer of First Union National Bank of Virginia.

David M. Carroll, vice chairman and head of general banking of First Union National Bank of Virginia.

Richard Carling, vice chairman and chief credit officer of First Union National Bank of Virginia.

First Union Corp. announced earlier that three members of the Virginia board would become directors of the parent holding company. They are Warner Dalhouse, chairman of the Virginia bank; James McComas, president of Virginia Tech at Blacksburg; and Brenton Halsey, retired chairman of James River Corp. of Richmond.
