Albrecht’s retirement leads to changes at Port State Bank

Mary Albrecht, the longtime senior vice president of deposit operations at Port Washington State Bank, is retiring this week, a move that is precipitating several changes at the bank.

Albrecht, who is retiring May 29, has been with the bank throughout her 23-year career.

She has been deeply involved in the Ozaukee County community. She was Grafton’s Outstanding Citizen in 2023 and has volunteered extensively with organizations that include Interfaith Caregivers of Ozaukee and the Ozaukee County Jail Literacy Program.

“Mary’s devoted time at Port Washington State Bank and the impact she has made cannot be overstated,” President and CEO James Schowalter said. “Her leadership, institutional knowledge and commitment to serving both our customers and our community have helped shape who we are as a bank today.”

BreAnna Porth, who has been with the bank since 2017, has been promoted to vice president of deposit operations.

Porth has most recently served as branch manager of the bank’s Fredonia office.

She has more than 20 years of retail banking and branch operations experience and has attended the Wisconsin Bankers Association School of Bank Management. She is actively involved in the community, serving as treasurer of the Northern Ozaukee Schools Scholarship Foundation and as a board member for the Waubedonia Soccer Club.

Hannah Langhoff, a Fredonia resident with 11 years of banking experience, has been named assistant vice president/branch manager of the Fredonia office.

Langhoff brings strong local insight and a customer-focused approach to the Fredonia branch, Schowalter said.

“We are confident that BreAnna and Hannah will excel in their new roles,” he said. “Our team has worked closely together to ensure a smooth transition, and these leadership changes reflect the strength of our internal talent and our commitment to continuity for our customers and communities.”
