LANSING, Mich. — LAFCU has named Jeremy Sampson vice president of facilities.
Sampson’s new responsibilities include development and support of strategic initiatives involving the credit union’s 10 branches, such as building allocation, expansion and modification, research and profitability analysis. He reports to CEO Patrick Spyke. Sampson succeeds Todd Thelen, who is retiring after 27 years with LAFCU.
“LAFCU is focused on providing service in ways that our members want,” Spyke said. “As technology becomes a larger part of that delivery system, our branches are offering more service options that require facility support. Jeremy’s business acumen and management expertise make him the right person for this job at the right time.”
Sampson joined LAFCU December 2019 in the position of enterprise liaison. He’s worked on internal communication initiatives as well as in commercial lending. He was the Michigan credit union’s lead contact for loan applications to the government’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in response to COVID-19 disruptions.
“LAFCU is a terrific organization with a purpose that’s member-driven,” Sampson said. “I’m excited to be a part of the LAFCU team in these challenging times as we learn new ways for our branch facilities to best serve members.”
