Statement from Alfred R. Camner, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of
BankUnited:
”This is an appropriate time to retire. I
helped position the Bank with a number of programs, including the
Mortgage Assistance Program, to help our homeowners, which should aid
the Bank to be successful in the future in the midst of a national
housing crisis, an economic downturn affecting all financial
institutions. The Bank should have many opportunities because it is
truly a community bank devoted to the communities in which it operates.
It is truly Main Street, not Wall Street, a provider services to its
customers. I believe that these programs should provide the Bank an
excellent opportunity for future success. I have been pleased and proud
to work with so many dedicated Bank employees.”
