SYRACUSE, N.Y.–SECNY FCU has named a new president and CEO to succeed the retiring Walter M. Bobesky.
The $281.7-million credit union has selected Courtney Fulmer to lead the organization. Fulmer has been with the credit union for 23 years, most recently as its chief experience officer, and has “played key roles in marketing/business development, digital, contact center and back-office operations,” SECNY FCU said on its website.
She will be the third president/CEO in the credit union’s history.
Three Decades of Accomplishments
During Bobesky’s 32 years with the credit union, SECNY said some of the accomplishments included:
- More than $260 million in asset growth
- Community charter designation in 2001
- National recognition for the first indoor drive-thru in the country at North Syracuse
- The opening of an education and career center in 2019
- Expanded branch network to six branches, four student branches, and a full-service mortgage services dept.
Nurturing a Team
Bobesky said there will be a management transition period beginning Jan. 1, 2024, after which he will stay on as a strategist/consultant.
“My greatest achievement has been to nurture a team that helped create and maintain a culture of family, respect and integrity throughout the organization,” said Bobesky in a statement. “By doing this, it has translated to an exceptional level of service to our membership. Education is the core fabric of what we do every day. Together, they make our community a better place to live.”
Another Internal Promotion
In addition, the credit union said it has elevated Peter Vassallo to become executive vice president. Vassallo has been with the credit union for 16 years, most recently as COO.
