NOVATO, CA - (May 15, 2013) - Bank of Marin Bancorp (NASDAQ: BMRC), parent company of Bank of Marin, has announced the retirement of Joseph D. Martino, after 13 years of service on the Company's Boards of Directors.

A Marin resident since 1969, Martino enjoyed a 42-year career in banking before he retired from business in 1997. During his career, he worked with Wells Fargo Bank for 30 years, including 15 years spent managing their 30 branch office network in Marin and Redwood Empire.

He has also been a member of the Executive and Nominating & Governance Committees since 2009.

Known for his community involvement, Martino is a director and past President of the Salesian Boys' and Girls' Club, a director of the Marin Bocce Federation (San Rafael Park and Recreation), President of the Nazareth House Retirement Home Advisory Board, and an Advisory Board Member of the Marin History Museum Board. He has served on numerous other boards including United Way, Ecumenical Association for Housing, San Rafael Rotary Club and Marin Tennis Club.

Martino has also been a “ball dude” for the San Francisco Giants, a highly coveted role with the team, and he has plans to participate again this summer.

“Joe has been a leader on the Bank of Marin Board and in our community for many, many years,” said Joel Sklar, M.D., Chairman of the Board. “We have benefited greatly from his insights and experience in business and from his commitment as a volunteer. He will be greatly missed and we wish him well.”
