After being with GNOCU for 17 years, Janet Sanders has retired. Named to lead the organization is Shelley Sanders, who was previously executive vice president.
In a statement, the $142-million Greater New Orleans said, “From her appointment as president and CEO of GNO FCU in 2007, to this year, Sanders has continually expanded the organizations’ reach. During her 17-year tenure at GNO FCU, Sanders advanced resources, cultivated partnerships, and implemented initiatives that fostered financial empowerment within the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan area.”

I’d like to thank the wonderful teams of employees who all contributed to the credit union’s success over the years.
