It is a distinct honor to assume the presidency of this bank. Litchfield Bancorp
has a long history of being of, and for, the local community, and it is my
intention to continue in that tradition.
Since I assumed leadership of the bank in January, building a new management
team has been a priority. I am pleased to announce that, with the promotion of
Paul McLaughlin to Chief Operating Officer, our new management structure is now
fully in place.
Many of you know Paul, as he has been very active in the branches and in many of
our communities. His promotion is a natural step in a long and distinguished
career here at Litchfield Bancorp. I am sure you will join me in welcoming him
to his new position.
Robert Teittinen is our new Chief Lending Officer. Bob, who recently joined us
after many years with First National Bank of Litchfield, is a highly regarded
banker, and brings a deep knowledge of lending issues and the needs of business
owners. Other key members of our management team include Leslie Black, Chief
Financial Officer; Maura Malo, Chief Risk Officer; and Ray Croce, Compliance
Officer. Our branches are managed by Margret Warner in Litchfield, Melissa Dodge
in Torrington, Deb Telman in Oakville, Susan Dickinson in Lakeville and Sarah
Churykin Washington. To learn more about our team click

Collectively, this management team has extensive experience in our industry and
with this institution. Together we will explore new ways to deliver banking
services and new technologies that meet your needs. We will continue the
tradition of sound banking and lending practices, and strive for efficiencies
that keep us healthy, so we can continue to serve and support the people and
businesses in the area.
This is an exciting time for Litchfield Bancorp and we look forward to a bright
future. We welcome you, as always, to our bank, and our whole team looks forward
to demonstrating how, at Litchfield Bancorp, “Every Customer Counts.”
