Brent Beardall, president and CEO of Seattle-based WaFd (Nasdaq: WAFD), says he plans to return to work on Feb. 13 only weeks after surviving a plane crash in Provo, Utah. He expects to be released from the rehabilitation hospital at University of Utah Health on Feb. 10. 'I will resume my duties at the bank on Feb. 13, which coincides with me getting out of rehab and with our annual meeting the next day,' Beardall told the Business Journal. Beardall was taken to Utah Valley Medical Center in Provo after surviving the crash at Provo Airport on Jan 2.
