“It has been the highlight of my career to be a part of Oregon Pacific Bank for the past 19 years,” said Ron Green.

CEO Ron Green, who announced his intention to retire earlier this year, will transition to the role of Executive Advisor and Board Member on July 1 and will continue to support White, the Board of Directors, and the Bank through his retirement on September 16, 2026.

Green’s departure concludes an over 37-year career in banking, more than half of which has been with Oregon Pacific Bank.

“Ron has led this institution with vision and purpose for nearly two decades,” said Jon Thompson, Board Chair of Oregon Pacific Bank and Oregon Pacific Bancorp. “Under his leadership, the Bank strengthened its commitment to relationship-driven community banking and positioned itself for long-term success. The Board is grateful for his stewardship and confident in the continuity this succession provides.”

Green joined Oregon Pacific Bank in 2007 as Chief Credit Officer, helping guide the Bank through the Great Recession. He was promoted to President & CEO and appointed to the Board of Directors in 2013. During his tenure as President, the Bank added three offices and grew total assets from $177 million to over $820 million.

“It has been the highlight of my career to be a part of Oregon Pacific Bank for the past 19 years,” said Ron Green. “I am grateful to the Board of Directors for allowing our team to take calculated risks and build a stronger bank that is able to truly create meaningful value for our clients, employees, shareholders, and the communities we serve. We have positioned the Bank for continued success, and Amber will be an extraordinary CEO and community bank leader.”

White joined Oregon Pacific Bank in 2017 as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and was promoted to President and appointed to the Boards of Directors in January 2026. The succession from Green to White reflects a carefully planned investment in leadership development from within, preserving a commitment to the culture, community relationships, and institutional knowledge that define a true community bank.

“I’m grateful for the foundation Ron and this team have built, and for the relationships that make this bank what it is,” said Amber White. “I look forward to serving our clients, employees, shareholders, and communities, and to ensuring Oregon Pacific Bank remains focused on what matters most.”
