Mary Hood

SVP and Market Manager Willamette Valley Agricultural & Commercial Banking Team @Columbia Bank

Salem, OR, US

I started my banking career in 1991 and have worked entirely within the agricultural industry right here in the great state of Oregon since my first day. I’m proud to say that I have ‘grown up’ in this industry. Today you can find me working as the Market Manager for Columbia Bank\'s Willamette Valley Agricultural & Commercial Banking Center. My team is comprised of two divisions: First, I consider myself extremely lucky to be a part of the largest lending team, dedicated entirely to agriculture, at any commercial bank in the Pacific Northwest. Second, I have the pleasure of working with a seasoned C&I team serving Salem and the surrounding areas as well as the beautiful Oregon Coast. I have been with Columbia Bank since August of 2004. Our mission is to help ensure the financial success of our clients and to be known within all of our communities as the best place to bank and the best place to work. I honestly believe we have something special to offer our clients. We like to listen, learn and be involved with our clients throughout various economic cycles – both good and bad. We take pride in our work, value our relationships and look to make the banking experience fun and enjoyable. Most importantly, we have high performance expectations for ourselves and get results for our clients.I am also proud to note that you can find me participating in Oregon Women for Agriculture and the Oregon Ryegrass Growers Association, as well as participating in many other industry events and meetings. I love Oregon and I love the Willamette Valley - there is simply no place on earth like it. The best way to reach me is via my office phone line, 50••••••35. You can also email me directly at m•••••••@columbiabank.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
