FLORENCE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of Oregon Pacific Bancorp (ORPB or the “Company”)—the holding company for Oregon Pacific Bank (the “Bank”)—today announced that Ron Green will retire in 2026.

“I am very proud of the Bank’s accomplishments over the past 19 years and my 13 years as President & CEO,” said Ron Green. “We emerged from the Great Recession of 2009 and were able to grow the Bank’s assets by nearly five times from 2013 to today. I am pleased with our unwavering focus on creating value for all stakeholders that we serve. The value to our shareholders, employees, customers and communities has never been greater.

“Our greatest success over the past 10 years has been the recruitment of exceptional banking leaders, including Amber White. I will forever be grateful for how our employees transformed the culture of the Bank over the last two decades. Amber has been a pivotal leader at the Bank and is the right person with the vision to lead the Bank forward. This is a great opportunity for Amber, but an even greater opportunity for our stakeholders.”
