Local CEO Named to Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Board

 

West Coast Community Bank (WCCB) today announced that Krista Snelling, chairman and chief executive officer, has been elected to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s (FRBSF) Head Office Board of Directors, elevating community banking’s voice in regional and national banking policy. Snelling previously served on the FRBSF’s Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council for one year before joining the board, where she represented community banks and the economic needs of California’s Central Coast. She is also immediate past chair of the California Bankers Association.

 

Snelling’s latest appointment comes at a time when West Coast Community Bank – the largest community bank headquartered on California’s Central Coast – continues to strengthen its presence and economic role in Monterey County. An economist at heart, Snelling also currently holds the position of president of the Monterey Bay Economic Partnership, reinforcing the Bank’s commitment to regional economic vitality. Plus, the Bank has 58 bankers based in King City, Monterey and Salinas at its three full-service branches and core operations center that houses Branch Operations, Central Operations and eBanking.

 

“I am honored to represent our 200+ shareholders, thousands of loyal clients and the one-third of our Board of Directors based in Monterey County on the FRBSF board,” said Snelling. “At a time when many community banks are struggling, it is encouraging to see the strong performance of WCCB be recognized and its leaders asked to serve as advocates for community banking on the Central Coast and beyond.”
