PHILADELPHIA, PA (November 10, 2015) — Extending further into Philadelphia’s bolstering cooperative environment, the Philadelphia Area Co-op Alliance (PACA) named Sb1 Business Development Officer, William Crosswell, to its board of directors. The announcement was made at the Philly Co-op Summit and Annual Meeting on November 5, 2015.
Crosswell is in good company on the PACA board. Other members include leaders from Weaver’s Way Food Co-op, LCA Housing Co-op, Kensington Community Food Co-op, Mariposa Food Co-op, The Energy Co-op, Childspace Management Group, and Life Center Association.
“Sb1 is proud to be part of and contribute to the Philadelphia Area Co-op Alliance,” stated Rob Werner, Sb1 President and CEO. “Will Crosswell will do a great job representing Sb1 members, while further supporting the ever-growing Philadelphia cooperative movement.”
Additional awards included those to Childspace as the cooperative of the year, as well as Weavers Way Co-op as the co-op champion of the year.
With over $600 million in assets, Sb1 was originally founded in 1977 by the employees of the SmithKline Corporation. Sb1 has evolved into a full-service, member-oriented financial institution servicing over 100 companies across the country, including anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in select Philadelphia zip codes. Sb1 offers members a great option, whether they are looking for higher rates, fewer fees, or a safer place to keep their money.
