Bank Hires Jane Bowman to Oversee the Marketing and Communications Teams

“I’m thrilled to join South Shore Bank at such a pivotal time in its growth,” said Bowman. “To be part of an organization that lives its brand promise of Sharing Success in giving back to our community is truly a marketer’s dream role.”
