Warrenville, ILL., May 8, 2012 – Alloya Corporate FCU is pleased to announce expanded responsibilities for two of its executives: Todd M. Adams and Kevin A. Brauer.
“We are thrilled to have both of these dedicated, credit union focused individuals on our team,” said Alloya’s Chief Executive Officer, Charles Furbee. “Their leadership has been instrumental in making the members’ desire for a new corporate credit union a reality. With their new responsibilities, they will both continue to guide and help the corporate grow as we move forward with new and enhanced products, operating platform conversions, and strategic partnerships.”
