Christopher Caldwell, executive vice president and chief lending officer at Community National Bank in Newport, has been appointed to the board of directors at Green Mountain United Way. Caldwell brings a long history of experience not only in the banking industry, but also in working with United Ways in both Indiana and Delaware.

Giving back to the community is nothing new for Caldwell. “I grew up with that ethos that says, ‘We have a responsibility to give back. We can’t just keep taking and taking,’” he said.
