His experience and leadership will strengthen us for years to come,” Boulier stated. “He has served the past several years as the Bank’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer as well as Corporate Secretary and Chief Risk Officer and this is the next logical step in a carefully planned succession plan.
