SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The board of directors of the Syracuse Fire Department Employees Federal Credit Union (SFDEFCU) announced it has promoted Roxane Bowering to be the credit union’s next CEO.
“After an extensive search, the Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Bowering to this position. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our credit union,” Charles Boynton, chairman of the SFDEFCU board of directors, said in the Jan. 3 announcement.
Bowering has worked in the credit-union industry for 26 years, most recently serving as the SFDEFCU director of operations. She has been with SFDEFCU for 22 years, serving in a range of roles, “most notably” as accounting manager for 10 years, the credit union said.
Bowering assumes the duties previously held by Andrea Thune, who no longer works at SFDEFCU, Tonia McDonald, the credit union’s marketing director, tells CNYBJ in an email.
Steven McGraw, an eight-year member of the SFDEFCU board of directors, served as interim CEO until Bowering was promoted to the president and CEO role in early January, McDonald adds.
Established in 1950, SFDEFCU primarily serves firefighters, Syracuse police, City of Syracuse employees, Syracuse Department of Public Works staff, and more, per its announcement.
Syracuse Fire Department Employees Federal Credit Union is located at 211 Wilkinson St. in Syracuse.
