PBN: What are you looking forward to in your new position?
TRASK: I am looking forward to getting out into the community and helping the community get to know Webster Bank. It is a community-minded, family-oriented bank with a wonderful history. Our current CEO, Jim Smith, is just the second CEO we have had since the bank was founded in Waterbury, Conn. in 1935 by his father, Harold Webster Smith.
As part of our grand opening, our new 1155 Pontiac Ave. branch will have an exciting Welcome Week from Aug. 24 to Aug. 29. The week will be packed with events such as children’s safety events; a Cranston Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event on Thursday, Aug. 27; a barbecue catered by Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse and music on Friday, Aug. 28; and on Saturday, Aug. 29, a charity dog wash that includes a live WWLI-FM Lite 105.1 radio broadcast from the branch and refreshments. Tuesday through Saturday of that week also will feature $500 cash giveaways each day and many product offerings.
