Local legend and all-around good guy Kim Capeloto recently accepted the position of President of the Lighthouse Financial Foundation effective June 1, 2022.
According to Brett Bryant, Board Chair at Lighthouse, “When we first started these discussions with Kim, it was apparent that financial wellness was a strong area of focus for him. The fact that we were able to put this partnership together is a huge benefit to the communities we serve as well as a strong testament to the viability and need of the Foundation. Our Board unanimously endorsed Kim as the first-ever President of the Lighthouse Financial Foundation and we are extremely excited to welcome him,”
Kim’s areas of focus will initially be in the collaboration and convening of various organizations that have partnered with LHFF in the past as well as look for additional outreach opportunities to expand the communities being served by the Foundation. He also will be looking for additional partners and supporters of the mission.
“This is an excellent opportunity for not only financial institutions to show support for this initiative, but for all businesses to help their employees and their communities become more financially sound. There is no current consistent avenue for these skills to be taught, but these are learned skills that every individual can use in their lives. I look forward to working closely with the business community to maximize the impact of this initiative.” said Capeloto.
Capeloto most recently was with Riverview Community Bank as Chief Banking Officer and has worked with other national, regional, and local banks throughout the Pacific Northwest for more than 35 years. He also previously served as CEO of the Greater Vancouver Chamber. He currently serves on several non-profit boards locally and has held leadership positions and served on boards of more than 20 organizations over the years.
