Camden National Bank has announced the creation of a critical new leadership position.
Kathleen "Kate" Bellmore was promoted to senior vice president for talent acquisition and diversity, equity and inclusion officer.

Dufour, president and CEO of Camden National. “Kate brings extensive knowledge with over 15 years of experience in human resources and truly understands the value that a diverse workforce adds to how well we serve our customers and communities who encompass different perspectives and backgrounds.”
Bellmore has been recognized as a senior certified professional by the Society for Human Resource Management and a professional in human resources by the Human Resource Certification Institute.
She received her MBA in human resource management from Thomas College and is expected to graduate from the Maine Development Foundation’s Institute for Civic Leadership development program this spring.
