As a result, I am very pleased to announce that we have promoted Debbie Sokoloskie to the new position of Marketing and Member Service Advisor Manager. I know that having Debbie as a member of our management team will ensure the Credit Union's success well into the future. We are excited to announce the promotion of Jennifer Collins to the position of Member Service Advisor.
