Baker Boyer Bank (OTCBB: BBBK) announced today that it has named
Mark Kajita, Executive Vice President and Wealth Management
Division Manager, as President/Chief Investment Officer effective
in January 2014. Long-time President and CEO Megan Clubb said she
will hand over many of her day-to-day responsibilities to Kajita,
and work with him in a co-leadership role. She has been with the
bank for 23 years and was named president in 2000 and CEO in 2002.
It was also announced that Peter Allen, a member of the sixth
generation of the bank's founding family, will replace Kajita as
Wealth Management Division Manager.
"I can enthusiastically welcome Mark and Peter to their new
roles in large part because of our leadership team and great
employees. Along with Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer Mark Hess and Executive Vice President and Banking Division
Manager Lyle Hansen, the executive management team will be
available to provide valued counsel. The four of us will provide
continuity and a strong leadership team covering all aspects of
banking and financial advising," Clubb said.
Under her leadership, Baker Boyer has ranked in the top 200 in
terms of financial performance among several thousand community
banks nationwide each of the past six years, coming in at #14 in
2013. Baker Boyer has also been listed among the best mid-sized
companies to work for in the Seattle Business Magazine rankings for
eight years and won the award in 2011.
Clubb has also been recognized for her leadership and mentoring
of women in banking and was named one of 10 Women of Influence by
Seattle Magazine. She is a director of the Federal Reserve Board,
Twelfth District in San Francisco and is a Trustee at Whitman
College.
Clubb said her responsibilities as a member of the San Francisco
advisory board for the Federal Reserve are also taking additional
time since she meets every two weeks and travels to San Francisco
monthly. In addition, Clubb will be headed to Washington, D.C. next
month to represent the twelfth district board at national Fed
meetings.
