As a Relationship Officer for Columbia Bank, I worked with commercial clients to make sure all of their lending and banking needs were met. Many of my clients had been with me for 10+ years or longer and enjoyed the fact that I have been here for 20 years. It means they did not have to change their banking relationship or learn new names every few years!I am the current Board President for the Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools and Secretary of the board for Friends of the Children Southwest Washington.
