Santa Rosa, CA-based Exchange Bank hired Richard Lewis as Chief Information Officer
About the Company
One of the most unique banks in the United States The last will and testament of Exchange Bank’s co–founder and second president, Frank Doyle, stands tall above his many accomplishments. Doyle wanted the Bank to be a locally owned and managed institution. So rather than giving his stock to his heirs, his controlling interest (50.39% of the common stock) was put into a perpetual trust. The dividends are specified for distribution by the Trustees to the Frank P. Doyle and Polly O’Meara Doyle Scholarship Fund for assistance to “worthy young men and women attending Santa Rosa Junior College.” The Doyle Trust has proven to be one of the most remarkable planned gifts in the history of American community college education. More than $79 million to over 120,000 students since 1948. Throughout the years we have won awards and accolades in Sonoma County by being voted the Best Local Bank, Best Business Bank, One of the Best Places to Work, Best Company to Do Business With, and Business Environmental Alliance Best Practices Award. We believe our core values make these honors possible: Commitment, Respect, Integrity and Teamwork. Since its founding in 1890, Exchange Bank has had only seven presidents. Father and son Manville Doyle and Frank Doyle co–founded the bank and Frank Doyle served as President until 1948. On March 21st 2014, Gary Hartwick became CEO and President and Bill Schrader, Chairman of the Board.
