The Connecticut Bankers Association has tapped Ives Bank President and CEO Martin Morgado as its next chairman, the group announced following its annual meeting earlier this month.
Morgado, who has led the Danbury-based bank since 2016 and serves on several community and industry boards, will guide the association through the 2025-26 term. His election capped the CBA’s 126th Annual Meeting & Conference, held Nov. 6-9 in Manalapan, Florida.
The association also named Anthony Joyce III, president and CEO of Chelsea Groton Bank, as vice chairman; David Schneider, CEO of Fairfield County Bank, as immediate past chairman; and Thomas Mongellow, the CBA’s president and CEO, as an officer.
New at-large board members include Brian Canina, president and chief operating officer of PeoplesBank, and Jason Hardgrave, CEO of DR Bank, who will serve terms through 2028.
They join four continuing at-large board members:
- Michael Alberts, president and CEO of Jewett City Savings Bank;
- Matthew McSpedon, managing director and market president for Connecticut and Western Massachusetts at JPMorgan Chase;
- Andreas Kapetanopoulos, regional president at NBT Bank; and
- Christopher Motl, president of commercial banking and senior executive vice president at Webster Bank.
Union Savings Bank President and CEO Chelen Reyes was also elected to the board and will chair the CBA’s legislative committee for the coming year.
The Farmington-based association represents banks across Connecticut and provides advocacy, education and industry support.
