Their spirit of dedication through their own involvement, community outreach, and charitable support has been instrumental in the development of the outstanding healthcare and treatment offered by this premier institution. The Cosgroves are a shining example of philanthropic commitment, and like the Foundation, our Bank salutes them for their invaluable efforts."

Mr. Cosgrove was appointed to the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation Board in 1992 and served as chair in 2004 and 2005, having served in every officer capacity leading up to that leadership position. He also chaired the Finance, Executive, and Board Development Committees and served on the Master Plan Campaign Steering Committee. His involvement with the hospital has continued as a member of the Hospital Leadership Council and chair of the "Investing in a Healthy Tomorrow" campaign.

Professionally, Mr. Cosgrove has served on the Board of Directors for CU Bancorp and California United Bank since CUB's acquisition of Premier Commercial Bancorp in July 2012 and recently was appointed Vice Chairman of California United Bank.
