WILLISTON, Vt. — As we start a new year, Yankee Farm Credit is pleased to announce that current Chief Operations Officer Michael Farmer will be stepping in as our acting CEO effective January 1, 2021. Today’s announcement follows current CEO, Brenda Frank’s, acceptance of the role of Executive Vice President, Farm Credit Banking with CoBank, Yankee Farm Credit’s funding bank. Ms. Frank has agreed to remain with Yankee in a full-time advisory role to ensure a smooth transition before joining CoBank’s team.
The Board is confident that Mr. Farmer’s 30 years of service and experience leading many functions for the ACA, will serve Yankee well during this interim transition period, and appreciates Ms. Frank agreeing to remain in a full-time advisory role through this period. “While it’s hard to leave a team of people as dedicated as Yankee’s employees, I know it’s in very good hands” shared Frank. This interim arrangement will allow Yankee’s team to continue to focus on its members and build on the positive directions the Association has taken under Ms. Frank’s leadership.
