Experienced Finance Executive Joins Leading Community Bank
NOVATO, CA, July 25, 2013 - Bank of Marin Bancorp (NASDAQ: BMRC) has announced the hiring of Tani Girton as Chief Financial Officer of the company and its subsidiary bank. Girton joins Bank of Marin with more than 25 years of experience in financial services, including risk management, treasury, and investment portfolio management.

She also serves on the Executive Committee for the Junior Achievement of Northern California Board of Directors.
“We are delighted to have Tani join us as our new Chief Financial Officer,” said Russell A.
