GPO Federal Credit Union names Mayhew to president, CEO posts

NEW HARTFORD — The board of directors of GPO Federal Credit Union (GPOFCU) in New Hartford on Tuesday announced it has selected Nicholas Mayhew to serve as president and CEO.

Mayhew assumes his new role on Feb. 3.

He most recently served as vice president and CFO of Rome Memorial Hospital, GPOFCU said in a news release.

Mayhew has also served on the GPO board of directors for 25 years, including his current role as vice chairman.

 “I am looking forward to growing the credit union and continuing to stress the importance of member service … treating our members as we want to be treated ourselves,” Mayhew said in the news release.  “I have utmost confidence in the GPO team and that we will continue to be a leading credit union in Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison counties.”

Mayhew is replacing John Prumo, who is retiring as GPO’s president and CEO on March 31 after more than 40 years, GPOFCU said.

Prumo provided “outstanding” leadership to the credit union, Leo Callari, chairman of GPO’s board of directors, said in the news release.

“He is recognized for building the credit union into a [more than] $200 million [asset] institution serving 25,000 members with six branch locations,” Callari said. “We are confident that GPO will continue to grow and thrive under Nick’s leadership as well.”

Founded in 1931 and headquartered in New Hartford, GPO Federal Credit Union is a federally insured, member-owned, financial cooperative.
