Stewart gets PSBJ honor

Laurie Stewart, president and CEO of Sound Community Bank, has been named one of 2016’s “Women of Influence” by the Puget Sound Business Journal. The Sequim native recently celebrated 26 years with the organization. Stewart was hired in 1989 as president and CEO of Associated Grocers Federal Employee Credit Union. In the ensuing years, the Credit Union converted to a thrift and is now a fully public company traded on the NASDAQ. Stewart oversaw the growth of the organization from $38 million dollars to nearly $565 million dollars in the span of 26 years.

Now in its 13th year, the Women of Influence Award honors Seattle-area businesswomen, community leaders and philanthropists who are a force in the region.
