for community development, including affordable housing. Under
Joanne's leadership, for 18 years, Camden National Bank has
received an "Outstanding" Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") rating
from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. We wish her all
the best in her life's next chapter."

passionate about delivering excellence and innovation in the
banking industry," said Ackley. "I'm fortunate to have worked with
Joanne for the past 12 years as she strategically evolved and
strengthened the bank's risk and control frameworks."
