A Message from Clint ArnoldusPresident and Chief Executive Officer of Central Pacific Bank and its parent company, Central Pacific Financial Corp. Aloha. At Central Pacific Bank, our goal is to be your trusted partner and a true neighbor. In other words, we're constantly looking for new and innovative ways to deliver superior products and services to you, in a way that's most convenient for your busy lifestyle. Our new Community Bankers are working hard to make our branches a more integrated part of the places where you live and work. One example of this is our new Kapahulu Branch, located near the new Safeway, which just opened its doors in April. New and improved branches like this one will help us better serve you. Please visit any of our 39 branches and say hello. Our Community Banking team members are eager to talk with you! We remain confident in the Hawaii Market and our ability to offer you the best in financial products and services. However, 2008 continues to be a challenge for financial institutions like ours because of problems in the national housing market and the ripple effect of the subprime lending crisis affecting our California lending businesses. However, rest assured that these challenges will have absolutely no effect on our commitment to you to be a trusted partner and true neighbor in the months and years to come. Finally, you may have heard that I am retiring at the end of the year. While I am sad to leave the friends and relationships I've developed through the years, I've decided this is the right time for me to retire. The Company's Board of Directors has commenced a search for a new President and CEO, which will include both internal and external candidates. I remain committed to leading the bank in my current capacity and I look forward to assisting the Board in whatever way possible to identify the new CEO and ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. Mahalo, |
