Ken goes above and beyond in providing excellent service to the customers at Riverview Bank. In addition to his exemplary service at the bank, Ken is actively involved in many community events. He started a wildly popular networking group called CW Local Connections 30 years ago and it is still going strong today.
Ken has also been active with the Boy Scouts of America and makes sure that the General Federation of Women are taken care of during the Camas Days parade!

Stephanie embodies “Service Above Self,” always putting the community first. She is currently serving as the president of the Camas Lions. You will not find a service event where Stephanie isn’t present and contributing.

Our community is better with Stephanie in it.
