Great news we just can’t wait to share: Mission Community Bank CEO Anita Robinson has built a bank based in financial savvy and a fierce commitment to the local community. That tradition continues with the announcement of a new member of the board of directors who readily shares MCB’s vision – Jim Lokey, former president of Rabobank. Jim will work with Anita and MCB President Brooks Wise to lead Mission Community Bank in a significant central coast expansion. Jim will succeed North Coast rancher and former County Supervisor Bill Coy as executive chairman of the board. Bill will move to vice chair, replacing current Vice Chair Roxanne Carr, who is retiring from the board following 13 years of service that began with the bank’s founding in 1997. As for Jim and Anita, not only are they banking colleagues and longtime friends, but each also held the president position at the California Banking Association. In fact, Anita passed the gavel to Jim when her term ended and his began in 2008. Kudos and thanks to Roxanne for her service, welcome back to community banking, Jim, and congratulations to Anita and her board for a fine find.
