(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/06/15 -- ProAmérica Bank (OTCQB: PMRA): L. Bruce Mills, who has served as the President and CEO of ProAmérica Bank, has announced his resignation, effective March 31, 2015, to pursue other interests.
"Bruce helped bring the Bank to profitability, significantly improve asset quality and eliminate lingering regulatory matters," said ProAmérica Bank Chairwoman Maria S. Salinas. "We are hopeful that his successor will build off this strong foundation to grow our assets and net income in a prudent and sustainable manner."

"We're confident that we will have a smooth transition and excited that we can leverage the talent on the Board by having Mr. Varela step in," Salinas said. "We know that his knowledge and expertise of ProAmérica Bank will allow us to further execute the Bank's mission."
Ms. Salinas said the Board has formed a Search Committee to identify a permanent Chief Executive Officer and intends to move quickly.
