CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – FreeStar Financial Credit Union’s Board of Directors recently voted to approve the appointment of Catherine M. Patyi to the FreeStar Financial Supervisory Committee.
The primary function of the Supervisory Committee is to ensure management’s financial reporting objectives have been met, and practices and procedures are in place to safeguard members’ assets. The committee serves as internal auditors to assure the credit union complies with the National Credit Union Association laws.
Patyi earned two Masters of Science degrees from Walsh College in Management and Accounting. She currently works as a Senior Revenue Management Analyst at Trinity Health in Livonia and has over 10 years of financial experience. Patyi has been a member of the credit union since 1980.
“We were very impressed with Catherine’s business background and her eagerness to serve,” said Drema Isaac, President and CEO. “The credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ is exemplified by the volunteers who serve on our Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee. Their willingness to volunteer their wisdom and leadership to advance the credit union is inspirational and very much appreciated by our management team and staff,” added Isaac.
Patyi fills the open position on the Supervisory Committee which was vacated by Kristi Le after being appointed to serve on the Board of Directors when a former Board Member retired in April.
