NORTH COAST, Calif. – The Board of Directors of Savings Bank of Mendocino County has appointed Erin Powis, Raymond James financial advisor, to serve on its board.
 
A long-time Potter Valley resident, Powis is the fifth generation of his family to be associated with Savings Bank since its founding in 1903.

He is the son of Mary March, Savings Bank director from 1984 to 2016.

“I’m honored to take over the seat on the board vacated by my mother,” said Powis. “This bank and community have given everything to me and my family throughout my lifetime and I’m just hopeful that I am able to give back in a meaningful way.”

Powis graduated from Potter Valley High School and attended Mendocino College and the University of Colorado Boulder.

He holds a degree in finance. He also holds Series 7,63,65 FINRA Securities licenses as well as being a licensed Full Life Insurance agent in the state of California.

Powis has worked since 2003 as a financial advisor / investment advisor representative for Raymond James Financial Services, located at the Savings Bank Main Office, 200 North School St., Ukiah.

After college, Powis moved with his wife Lindsey to Arizona for three years where he worked for a financial services company.

When the opportunity came available to move home and work at the bank, he took it in order to start a family in this community. Powis and Lindsey are the proud parents of four young children, three sons and a daughter.
