Before his promotion to president, the 54-year-old Potes had been general manager of ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies since 2001.

Bosserd, 66, had been ChoiceOne's CEO since 2001. He previously worked for Huntington National Bank and is a former director of the Michigan Bankers Association. After his retirement, Bosserd will remain a director of the holding company and the bank.
