Broadway Bank announces retirement

Broadway Bank recently announced the July 15 retirement of Jeannette Flores Westbrook, longtime senior vice president and community reinvestment manager. After a 46-year career that began in 1974, Westbrook rose through the ranks at Broadway Bank in various capacities and developed legacy programs that will continue beyond her retirement.  

“We are very appreciative for Jeannette’s leadership and contributions to Broadway Bank and the communities we serve,” said David Bohne, Broadway Bank CEO. “Jeannette proudly served Broadway Bank and its customers for 46 years and during that time she established several signature programs serving the communities of Central Texas. Her passion and tenacity will be missed, but we are proud of her exceptional career and the legacy she leaves behind.”

Westbrook began her tenure with Broadway Bank in 1974 as a teller, credit card merchant representative and business development representative. Her creativity and customer engagement earned her the appointment of marketing officer in 1980. From there, Westbrook was promoted to vice president of marketing in 1990 before taking on her last role in 2000.

Westbrook is credited with developing the Broadway Bank community reinvestment program and mentor programs and with establishing the employee volunteer group Care Corps, which activates Broadway bankers to serve in the community through events, charitable campaigns and donations.

“It’s been an honor to be a Broadway banker for 46 years and I’m grateful for so many wonderful memories and accomplishments throughout my career,” said Westbrook. “I’m especially appreciative for the people I’ve worked with, including my colleagues, the Cheever family and the board of directors.

Earlier this year, Broadway Bank welcomed Jacob Cavazos to assume the senior vice president, community reinvestment manager role.
