Rome, NY – June 11, 2020: Mark Pfisterer, former President/CEO of AmeriCU Credit Union, has been selected as the New York Credit Union Association’s 2020 Outstanding Professional.

Each year, the Association’s Recognition Awards honor credit unions and individuals for their exceptional contributions to the credit union movement and the members they serve. To be recognized, an individual must demonstrate their passion for credit unions through hardwork, dedication, and success.

“Mark has done an incredible job leading this organization through the years. His vision, foresight, and managerial skill have allowed AmeriCU to grow from a relatively small organization to the nearly $2 Billion credit union we are today,” said John Stevenson, Chairman of AmeriCU’s Board of Directors.

Pfisterer has served on multiple boards and has been active in the Association for many years, including serving as Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and member of its Board of Directors, among other roles. He has also served as Chair of the Association’s Governmental Affairs Committee and as a member of the Association’s board and a trustee of the New York Credit Union Foundation.

Pfisterer will be formally recognized during the Association’s Annual Meeting, which will be held virtually on June 15.
