VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT (POSTHUMOUSLY):

John Primeau is the focus of our Volunteer Spotlight for 2022. John was always generous with his time and talents while spreading financial awareness and expertise throughout the entire South Florida region. In 2022 alone, John sat on the Board of Trustees of Women in Distress of Broward County, the Board of Directors of Broward Partnership for the Homeless, the Board of Trustees of Barry University, and the State of Florida Consumer Affairs Council. John provided expertise and leadership by helping to provide services for the homeless within Broward County. His work helped to sustain crisis shelters that support the victims of domestic violence and their children, and he advocated for higher education amongst students within South Florida.

John was formerly the President of the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) of Broward County. This organization was particularly special to John, as it is a nonprofit organization serving Broward County’s senior residents, age 60 or older. The AAA of Broward County also operates the Aging and Disability Resource Center, a one-stop source of information regarding services available for seniors, persons 18 and over with disabilities, their families and caregivers. While serving as President, John always displayed astounding leadership by assisting in planning, developing, coordinating, and evaluating programs.

John also served as a member of the Broward County Housing Finance Authority Committee and the United Way Audit Committee. John always brought a special light and life to many charitable and community endeavors with his continuous support of his community. At Centennial, we pride ourselves in our community banking philosophy which leads to exceptional service and strong customer relationships. We have consistently maintained a strong commitment to the communities we serve through our involvement with and support of local charities. We would like to recognize John for setting the standard for being a good corporate neighbor. His commitment to his community and the bank will be greatly missed by many.
