Northern Essex Community College President Lane A. Glenn recently joined the board of Pentucket Bank.
Glenn’s appointment comes just as the bank readies to reopen its White’s Corner branch in downtown Haverhill. Bank leadership called Glenn “a respected leader in higher education and regional economic development, noting he “brings more than three decades of experience advancing workforce development, institutional growth and community partnerships.”
“His deep commitment to education, economic opportunity and community collaboration aligns closely with Pentucket Bank’s mission. His perspective will strengthen our governance as we continue to serve our customers and communities,” said Scott D. Cote, chair of the board of Pentucket Bank.
During Glenn’s tenure at Northern Essex Community College, the bank noted, the institution became the first Hispanic-Serving Institution in New England, with campuses in Haverhill and Lawrence. He also expanded academic facilities and created innovative workforce training programs and public-private partnerships designed to support regional economic growth.
“Lane’s experience leading a major regional institution and fostering partnerships across business, education, and government will deepen our impact across the Merrimack Valley,” said Pentucket Bank President and CEO Stephen Jaskelevicus.
The bank added Glenn’s appointment als aligns with the strategic priorities of River Run, the joint mutual holding company for Pentucket Bank and affiliated banks, Newburyport Bank and Rollstone Bank & Trust.
In addition to his role at the college, Glenn is the founding board chair of the Lawrence Partnership, a collaborative effort among business, civic and government leaders focused on strengthening the economic vitality and quality of life in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Glenn holds a doctorate from Michigan State University, master’s from Oklahoma State University and bachelor’s from Northeastern State University.
