Savarese is also chairman, president and CEO of Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank in Orleans, Mass. R. Daniel Blanton, ABA’s immediate past chairman, chairs the Nominating Committee.
Nominations for ABA Officers and the Board of Directors will be accepted June 1-30. Any eligible banker interested in being considered as a candidate for an ABA office or to serve on the Board may request to be considered or may have his or her name submitted by a third party.
Written notices should be sent to R. Daniel Blanton, Chairman of the ABA Nominating Committee, American Bankers Association, 1120 Connecticut Ave, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
