Some BIG news out of the OBA today... the OBA Board has just announced that Scott Bruun is the organization's new President and CEO. Congratulations, Scott! We are all excited to begin working with you come June 10th. Scott brings a wealth of experience to the position with a distinguished career spanning government affairs, public relations, commercial banking, finance, and three terms as an Oregon legislator. Having most recently served as head of government affairs at Oregon Business & Industry, Oregon’s statewide chamber and business association, Scott has navigated complex issues and fostered collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders. Scott succeeds Linda Navarro, who has been with OBA for nearly 28 years. She has led the organization during times of significant change and has been a strong and dedicated voice for Oregon banks and the communities they serve. Navarro will continue to serve during the transition period until her retirement on July 15. Read the full news release here: https://lnkd.in/gE5w8Vth

There’s a saying that “business isn’t personal.” At ODP Business Solutions, we know that people are the most important part of any business — and that relationships mean everything. That’s why we have long-standing relationships with a wide range of group purchasing organizations (GPOs). By leveraging these relationships, we can help you reduce overall supply costs, boost production efficiency, and provide access to special offers from preferred suppliers. The result? Increased buying power for the people we care about most: our customers.

Thank you Laurie for your testimony. “I have been using BankMarketingCenter.com since April of 2023, and 5 months in, it is one of the best marketing decisions I have made. Bank Marketing Center saves me time, energy, and money. I previously used Canva Pro, and I find BMC much easier to use, and I know it is bank compliant. Since I have been using BMC, people have noticed the advertisements and social media posts we have put out. My favorite comment was from a young man who reached out just to say he noticed our marketing game had been “elevated”, and that it all looks very “professional and cohesive.” I was not new to marketing but was new to bank marketing, and there are a lot of regulations and rules, and BMC knows banking and has done so much of the regulation work and wording for you. I love that I can take their ideas and make them my own with my logo and branding with the touch of a key. They also constantly add timely and evolving content, which comes to you in email updates and training videos. Finally, the Photo Library is amazing. Using Getty Images, you can ALWAYS find just the right picture to go with your theme and get your point across; again, many of them are geared toward banking and business that you just can’t find anywhere. With your subscription, you also have unlimited access to Getty Images with peace of mind copyright laws are being followed.” ~ Laurie Simington, Director of Marketing, Farmers Savings Bank #bankmarketing #communitybankmarketing #farmerssavingsbank
