PORTLAND — Meredith Verdone, Bank of America enterprise marketing and market president executive, recently announced that Bill Williamson has been named Maine state president.
A native who has called Maine home for most of his life, Williamson has been with the company since joining a predecessor institution in 1981.
As state president, Williamson will help integrate Bank of America business lines throughout Maine, allowing the company to reach more individuals, families and businesses while deepening relationships with existing customers. He will also oversee corporate social responsibility activities, including philanthropic giving, community development lending and investing, environmental initiatives, diversity efforts, arts and culture projects, and employee volunteerism.
“Having spent nearly five decades in Maine, it’s clear Bill has his finger on the pulse of the local business community,” said Verdone. “He’s also long been considered a valued partner among nonprofit and community leaders, which is a prerequisite for this role.”
In addition to his responsibilities as state president, Williamson is a senior client manager in Bank of America’s Global Commercial Bank. In that capacity, he serves a diverse group of public and private companies in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Williamson, a Colby College alumnus, lives in Falmouth with his wife and the youngest of his three daughters. He is active in the community, having served on the boards of the Greater Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Susan Curtis Founda- tion. He currently serves on the board of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce.
Williamson replaces Betsey Timm, who served as Bank of America state president since 2004, and state president for a predecessor institution beginning in 1998. Timm will retire in June.
