Robert Ittes has joined the board of Life Enrichment Options (LEO), an Issaquah-based non-profit that advocates for those with developmental disabilities.

Ittes currently serves as the senior vice president and commercial team leader for Heritage Bank’s East King County region. Ittes is a veteran of more than 37 years in the Pacific Northwest banking community having served in many senior management capacities, which included the founding president of Issaquah Bank and Issaquah Community Bank.

Ittes holds a bachelor’s degree from Laverne College and an MBA from Seattle University. His local civic affiliations have included the Issaquah Historical Society, Issaquah Schools Foundation, Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, and the Issaquah and Sammamish Rotary Clubs.

“I am very excited to contribute to the good works of LEO in the greater Issaquah community,” Ittes said. “LEO has constructed three adult family homes in Issaquah and provides safe, comfortable and long-term living choices for 15 individuals. I look forward to continuing to work with LEO and the local Rotary Clubs to host the Challenge Series Races in Issaquah, Sammamish and Snoqualmie.”
