“Eastern is deeply committed to building and sustaining our organization, including our boards, to reflect the makeup of our workforce, customers and communities we serve because, simply put, it makes good business sense,” Bob Rivers, CEO and chair of the board of Eastern Bank, said. “Daniel, Andrea, Grace, Rob, Aisha and Wilnelia are at the forefront of their respective areas in the public and private sectors, and we look forward to benefiting from their insights and perspectives as we advance our work of creating opportunity for all.”
Eastern Bank is governed by a board of directors comprised of the same individuals who serve as directors of Eastern Bankshares. In addition, the bank has a board of advisors and a board of ambassadors, whose members serve as advisors and ambassadors for Eastern Bank and centers of influence in the communities that Eastern Bank serves.
