BankHometown re-elects chairman and vice chairman to its board

BankHometown’s board of directors has re-elected a new chairman and vice chairman.

Steven Duvarney, 52, of Lancaster has been named chairman and Brian Galonek of Sturbridge as vice chairman.

Duvarney joined the board of the Athol-Clinton Co-operative Bank in 2007 and was chairman at the time of the bank’s merger with bankHometown in 2011. 

He has been elected chairman of the bankHometown board of directors for a one-year term, and also will serve on the bank’s mortgage and asset liability committees. Duvarney owns jewelry stores in Fitchburg and Clinton. 

Active in the jewelry trade, he is a director of the New England Guild of the American Gem Society and the New England Jewelers Association. He also serves on the board of the North Central Mass Chamber of Commerce. Duvarney holds a bachelor’s degree in management from the UMass/Amherst. 

Galonek, 52, was first appointed to the bankHometown board in 2008, and chaired the audit/budget committee and the Community Reinvestment Act committee before his election to a one-year term as vice chairman. 

He owns a marketing company in Sturbridge, and earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the UMass Amherst. Since 2005, he has helped raise more than $1.5 million for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through his membership on the board of the Cohasse Jimmy Fund Classic charity golf tournament as well as his participation in 10 Pan-Mass Challenge bike-a-thons.  

Oxford-based bankHometown was founded in 1889, has $1 billion in assets and 15 branches in Central Massachusetts and Northeastern Connecticut.
