Webster Bank President Jerry Plush is the new chairman of Junior Achievement of Southwest New England.
Plush succeeds Carrier Corp. executive Greg Alcorn, who served as chair since 2010.
Plush was named president and a director of Waterbury-based Webster last December. He joined Webster in July 2006 after an 11-year career with MBNA America in Wilmington, Del.
“Jerry is strongly committed to improving the lives of young people and we are pleased that he has been elected chair of our board,” said JA President Lou Golden. “During his time on the board, he has shown great passion for our mission of empowering young people to own their economic success. We will greatly benefit from his leadership.”
