Brad Baumann, Director
My professional career is in banking. I have been in the banking industry since 1995. Over the past 30 years, my experience has been involved in Retail Banking, Business & Commercial Banking, Consumer Underwriting, and Community Bank Branch Management. I currently serve as the Vice President and Branch Manager for the Walla Walla Main Branch for Banner Bank. I am a graduate from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Society, Ethics and Human Behavior. Additionally, I am a graduate from the Pacific Coast Banking School and completed Executive Leadership Training with the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. Outside of my work life, I have been married for over 30 years to my wife Tina, and we have three children: Conner (30), Emma (27), and Charlie (25). At an early age, our daughter Emma was diagnosed with Autism. Emma participates in many of the WWVDN SOAR program events.

I have volunteered with numerous organizations, and served on many Boards to include the Boys & Girls Club of King County (1999-2010), Bellevue Boys & Girls Club Youth Football System Director (Newport Jr. Knights 2003-2013), Touchdown Club Booster President (Newport HS Football), Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (2010- 2019, and Club Board Treasurer 2012-2014), Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce (2023- Present, current Board Treasurer), Walla Walla Sunrise Rotary Club (2022 - Present, current Club Vice President), BMAC Asset Building Coalition (2022 - Present), and current committee member of the City of Walla Walla Adhoc Housing Committee (2022 - Present)
