“I have been fortunate to be a part of the CPB family for 20 years and, throughout that time, the one constant has been the bank’s commitment to its customers, employees and the community. I’m confident that current management will lead the bank to even greater accomplishments,” Camp said.

In acknowledging her years of contributions, CPB President and CEO Arnold Martines said, “The advice and counsel that Christine has provided to our bank the past two decades has been invaluable. I appreciate her personal and professional support. She is like family to us and always will be.”
