Washington Federal

Washington Federal, parent company of Washington Federal Bank, announced its board succession planning. Two directors, chair Thomas Kelley and Barbara Smith, will not be nominated for reelection to the board in January 2022, consistent with the company's director retirement policy. Also, the board announced that director Stephen Graham will be appointed chairman following the January 2022 annual meeting. In anticipation of the upcoming retirements, the board has increased the number of seats to 12 and appointed three new directors: Sylvia Hampel, Sean Singleton and Shawn Bice. Hampel brings 25 years of business management experience to the board. She was president of her own company Clearview Cleaning, operating throughout Idaho and three other western states, before selling the company to KBS. She is a licensed real estate broker and owns her own real estate development company. Singleton has experience with J.P. Morgan Chase, and was the founder of Oglethorpe Capital. Bice, a technology executive for more than two decades, is president of products and technology at cloud data company Splunk. In addition, Bice is a former Amazon Web Services vice president and Microsoft executive. Washington Federal Bank, a national bank with headquarters in Seattle, has 226 branches in eight western states.
