Today, the Bank operates more than 30 retail branches, 10 insurance locations and 4 mortgage offices across the region, and employs nearly 700 people. The future is bright. Salem Five is well positioned to continue expanding its market share by building on its proven combination of experienced personnel, high-touch personal service, and strategic innovation.
The next Chief Human Resources Officer will play a critical role in the next phase of the Bank’s evolution, as a strategist, an operational leader, and a consummate thinking partner and confidante to the executive team.
