MVSB President Rick Wyman to turn reins over to Marcus Weeks

Throughout the past 21 years, Richard E. “Rick” Wyman’s contributions as a leader at Meredith Village Savings Bank and as a dedicated community champion in the Bank’s growing communities have been significant.

Wyman joined MVSB as executive vice president and chief financial officer in August 2001 and assumed the role of president of MVSB on January 1, 2016. With more than 30 years of experience in senior leadership, Wyman had previously served as an executive officer and CFO for several Maine-based banks, ranging from local community mutual banks to a publicly traded multi-bank holding company.

“I felt very privileged to have been selected to serve on the NH CDFA board,” said Wyman. “I enjoyed assisting the CDFA in their efforts to support affordable housing and economic development activities statewide.”

Wyman has also been an essential member of the banking community. In 2018, Wyman was elected to the board of directors for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. Governed by a 17-person board, members are elected by FHLBank Boston member institutions for four-year terms. 

Weeks began his banking career in 1995 as a student-teller for MVSB’s Center Harbor Office, at just 16 years old. In his nearly 30 years with the Bank, he has served as a mortgage originator, business development officer, and branch manager for MVSB’s then — new Wolfeboro office — a wide range of experience that has helped him gain unique and broad perspective of the organization and the important role mutual banks play in the communities they serve. 

“Rick has provided me advice and guidance for nearly all of my career,” mentioned Weeks, “He’s helped me to develop into a stronger banker, and more inclusive and empathetic leader. I have enjoyed working very closely with him for the last six years and I am humbled to follow in his footsteps.”

Weeks offered, “Rick has positioned MVSB well enough that I will be able to focus on the things that are really important, such as excellent service and products and being engaged in the communities we serve. I look forward to nurturing the existing markets currently being served by our bank while exploring growth opportunities in other areas. The future is exceptionally bright for us and I’m privileged to have the opportunity to lead it forward.”

Weeks will assume the role of president on October 1,  and Wyman will stay on in an advisory role to both Weeks and Tewksbury through the end of the year.
