William J. Wagner, president and CEO of Chicopee Savings Bank, has been elected to the Glastonbury, Conn.-based Bankers’ Bank Northeast board of directors.
"I remember Bill’s comment at our annual meeting several years ago, when he challenged attending shareholder banks to follow his bank’s lead by using all the pertinent services we offer," said Peter J. Sposito, president & CEO of Bankers’ Bank Northeast. "He made a great impression on us then, and I know Bill’s commercial loan experience will enhance our board’s expertise in that important segment of our activities."
Wagner, of Longmeadow, has been president of Chicopee Savings Bank since 1984. Previously, he spent 18 years with Park West Bank in West Springfield.
"I’m excited about my recent appointment to the Board at BankersBank, " said Wagner. "With 46 years in the business, I feel I can bring both commercial banking and administrative skills to the table, while enhancing the level of products and service we bring to our bank customers."
Wagner serves on the boards of the Eastern States Exposition, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Westmass Economic Council.
A state-chartered institution, Bankers’ Bank Northeast serves more than 200 community banks throughout New England and New York State. Nationally, there are 20 bankers’ banks that work with more than 6,000 community banks in all 50 states.
