The Oregon Bankers Association (OBA) is pleased to announce the re-election of Jeff Bailey, president and CEO of Bank of Eastern Oregon in Heppner, to its board of directors. This will be Bailey's second stint on the OBA board having previously served from 2010-2018 and as chairman of the board during the 2016-2017 term.
A banking leader since 1996, Bailey brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as chief credit officer and commercial loan officer at Bank of Eastern Oregon. His dedication to the banking community is exemplified by his past chairmanship of both the OBA and Community Banks of Oregon and his service on the board of OBA's subsidiary, Synergy by Association. In 2021, Baily was inducted into the Oregon Bankers Hall of Fame for his outstanding contributions to Oregon's banking industry. In Eastern Oregon, Bailey is engaged in the Willow Creek Valley Economic Development Group, serves on the board of the Red & Gena Leonard Foundation, and is involved in many other civic and nonprofit groups.
Commenting on Bailey's re-election to the board, OBA President and CEO Scott Bruun said, "Jeff Bailey's re-election to the board is a tremendous asset to the Oregon Bankers Association. His deep industry knowledge, leadership experience, and longstanding commitment to Oregon's banking community make him an invaluable part of our team. We look forward to continuing to benefit from his insight and dedication as we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead for our industry."
