he History of Broadway Federal Bank Broadway Federal Bank was founded in 1946 by a group of civic minded men and women seeking to provide lending and depository services to a community not served by the existing financial institutions. Broadway has continued to fulfill that mission, and to provide training for minorities entering the financial industry. The Bank received its' Federal Charter on November 25, 1946 and welcomed its first savers on January 11, 1947. Boasting an initial investment of $150,000, the facilities consisted of a three-room office at 4329 South Broadway. H. A. Howard, a real estate broker and investor, managed Bank operations until September of 1949. At that time, leadership of the Bank transitioned to Dr. H. Claude Hudson, an original investor, dentist and community leader. For the next 23 years, Dr. Hudson chaired the Board of Directors and supervised the management of the bank. In April of 1972, leadership was passed to Dr. Hudson's son, Elbert T. Hudson, a lawyer, longtime member of the Board, and like his father, a community activist. Mr. Hudson managed Broadway until March of 1992, at which time the Board elected his son, Paul C. Hudson to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer. Like his grandfather and father before him, Paul Hudson is a community activist, as well as a lawyer. April 2006 marked yet another step in the legacy with the appointment of F. Glenn Harvey as President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Harvey and the younger Mr. Hudson share a maternal grandfather in Broadway Federal founding director Paul R. Williams. Like his cousin and uncle, Glenn is active in community affairs. Elbert Hudson continues to chair the Board and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Paul Hudson continues to lead as Chief Executive Officer. Broadway grew quickly, and in 1954 acquired a Woolworth's department store at the corner of 45th and Broadway, which was renovated into a flagship headquarters for the Bank by noted architect Paul R. Williams, a founding director. Branch expansion began in 1966 with the opening of our Midtown Branch in the Midtown Shopping Center. Once again, the Board called upon Paul R. Williams to design the new edifice. In 1984, a third branch was opened in the city of Inglewood. Continuing to grow, the branch has moved twice in Inglewood, finally settling on a stand-alone facility at the corner of Market and Regent. On April 30, 1992, a fire destroyed Broadway's headquarters during the civil unrest that beset Los Angeles following the Rodney King verdict. Management immediately announced the Bank's intent to rebuild and renewed its commitment to continue to serve the affected communities within South Central Los Angeles. In December of 1995, Broadway's members approved the conversion of Broadway from a mutual savings and loan to a stock savings bank. The initial public offering, which was oversubscribed, raised close to $9 million. With the infusion of additional capital, management has aggressively implemented a strategy of growing Bank assets. In 1998, management moved into new administrative headquarters with full banking services at 4800 Wilshire Boulevard in the Park Mile section of Mid-Wilshire. Looking to the future, 1999 brought the latest link in the branch chain as we replaced the temporary facility at 45th and Broadway, which had served the Eastside since the fire, with a new concept in banking centers at the corner of Martin Luther King and Figueroa. From the early days in that three room office, to the current state-of-the-art banking and business center on Figueroa, Broadway remains committed to the ideals upon which it was founded. The Bank manages more than 13,000 accounts with over 60 employees. Total assets exceed $217 million and the Bank capital exceeds $17.3 million. Management estimates that close to 85% of Broadway's loans are on properties located within the South Central and Mid-City areas of Los Angeles. Residential loans comprise more than 85% of the Bank's loan portfolio. Commercial loans make up 10%, with about half of the commercial loan portfolio being loans to churches within our community.

Broadway Financial is a publicly traded stock company whose common stock is traded on the NASDAQ over the counter market. Shouldn't you be banking with us? Board of Directors Paul C.
