PictureGeorge and Kay Rossez at the 2019 Minnesota Credit Union Network Annual Conference.
Longtime credit union advocate ​George Rossez passed away in late December. George Rossez began his career in 1962 with Minnesota Catholic Credit Union (formerly St John’s of New Canada Credit Union) as Manager.  Over the course of his career, Minnesota Catholic expanded its field of membership to more parishes and grew assets to over $33 million with 3 locations. In 1983, he joined the Board of Directors at Minnesota Catholic, a position he held until their Annual Meeting in 2022.
 
George and his wife Kay Rossez were recognized as CU Builders in 2022, in recognition of 60 years of dedication to the credit union movement. They have offered countless hours and steadfast guidance to help Minnesota Catholic Credit Union prosper and help thousands of members over the years. In 2011, they received the Minnesota Credit Union Network Volunteer of the Year award; and in 2019 were inducted into the national Credit Union House Hall of Leaders, in recognition for the significant impact they have made on the credit union movement at the local, state, and national levels.

Credit Union Professionals Recognized as Top Women in Finance; Notable Leaders in Marketing

11/22/2022

 
Kathleen (Kathy) Harrington, President and CEO of Heartland Credit Union and Rachel Studier, Chief Operation Officer of Mayo Employees Federal Credit Union, were honored at a networking and awards event on Nov. 10 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis in downtown Minneapolis. 

​Finance & Commerce’s Top Women in Finance program recognizes women who are making an impact in their professions and communities by breaking down barriers and paving the way for those that come after. An outside panel of experts reviewed the nominations and helped to select the honorees.
SPIRE's Credit Union Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Lisa Lehman, and ​TopLine Financial Credit Union’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Vicki Roscoe Erickson, were both named one as Twin Cities Business 2022 Notable Leaders in Marketing. 

Marketing professionals are tasked with effectively connecting brands with their target audiences and the larger public. In a time marked by a pandemic, labor and supply shortages, inflation, a social justice movement, and demands for equity, that’s not a simple job. But TCB’s 2022 Notable Leaders in Marketing have proven themselves, and the brands they represent, worthy of recognition.
