The special speaker was Krista Putnam, senior vice president in marketing at the Katahdin Trust Company.  She spoke of this year’s activities as the bank celebrated their 100th year in business.

They have grown from one location to having 16 branches throughout the state of Maine.  They employ 182 people and have around $800 million in assets.

In 2018, they were named one of the Best Places to Work in Maine.
