Our Eugene colleagues proudly represented Summit Bank at the Eugene Education Foundation’s Annual Fundraising Gala, helping unite our community to fund vital science and arts programs for local Eugene schools.

So thrilled to be representing Summit Bank and Homes for Good at the National Community Reinvestment Coalition - NCRC Just Economy Conference in Washington DC. Feeling humbled and inspired to be in a room filled with affordable housing and community finance professionals from across the country, including a great group from Oregon! So glad our elected officials could meet with us on the trip - Senator Merkley, Representative Dexter, and Representative Hoyle staff amazingly made time on a very busy day at the capitol. Many thanks to Peter Hainley for suggesting this conference to me and to Summit Bank for sending me to learn and connect. Let's go! #affordablehousing #CRAlending #communityfinance #housingisahumanright

COMMUNITY. CONNECTION. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. With over 30 guests in attendance and 2 presentations centered around the ever-evolving topics of Cybersecurity and Risk Management, our March CPE Dinner was nothing short of fantastic! ??
