senior

In her new position, Peterson will direct Columbia’s planning and program development toward meeting the credit union’s long-term growth and profitability objectives, and will act as liaison to the board of directors and will interface with state and federal legislators. Formerly senior vice president and chief information officer with oversight of home loans, Peterson has a total of 14 years’ experience in the financial industry, the last eight with Columbia. Peterson is a graduate of Marquette University and earned a masters of science in business administration from the University of Portland and a masters of science from Oregon State University.

She has been a volunteer with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver School District and the YWCA. Port adopts “Pay as We Grow” plan The largest budget in the history of the Port of Vancouver was approved by commissioners today. The $83.2 million budget for 2008includes $48.9 million set aside to buy the former Alcoa aluminum smelter plant on the Columbia River and $20.4 million for the West Vancouver Freight Access rail project. Earlier this year the port used its statutory power to pay for the Alcoa acquisition and rail project by a port tax, which became the subject of a successful local referendum that was overwhelmingly approved by port district voters. The port was left without the financing from the tax proposal and port commissioner Arch Miller, who championed the project, was defeated in this November’s general election. Miller, whose term on the port commission extends to January, and the other two commissioners made the vote on the new budget unanimous. Under the “Pay as We Grow” plan, financing for the property acquisition and the rail project will include a mixture of port reserves, bonds and possibly loans. At the same time, port commissioners postponed development of the Columbia Gateway project in order to finance what they consider more critical needs.
