NOVATO -- The parent company of Novato-based Bank of Marin on Wednesday said Stuart Lum will replace Joel Sklar, MD, as board chairman.
Mr. Lum will be chairman of the two boards overseeing the bank's activities starting Jan. 1, 2014. Dr. Sklar, a founding bank board member, has served as chairman since 2007 and will remain a director of Bank of Marin Bancorp (Nasdaq: BMRC).
Also a founding board member, Mr. Lum has been a director for 14 years and is on bank's Executive and Assets and Liabilities committees. He is chairman of the bank's Audit Committee.

He is credited as having an integral role in helping the bank set up operations in Napa and Alameda counties, along with new offices in Santa Rosa, Greenbrae, Sonoma and San Francisco.
