Diamond Credit Union Board of Directors Election Nominations
Board Secretary Marcia J. Levengood announces three nominees for the Board of Directors:
Position 1 – Eugene F. Carter Jr.
“As a long-standing volunteer on Diamond’s Board of Directors, it’s my belief we best serve our membership and community by evolving the credit union. The financial industry moves quickly, and we must acknowledge and address growing financial needs and trends, as well as anticipate growth opportunities that will benefit our members and the credit union. I believe Diamond manages that balance well, and I look forward to continuing my service as we roll out exciting new products and enhancements. “
Position 2 – Dr. Charles F. Barbera
Dr. Charles Barbera, MD is seeking his first term on Diamond’s Board of Directors. Dr. Barbera joined Reading Hospital in 1996 and is currently President/CEO. He is nationally recognized in the medical industry for his leadership and dedication to improving and optimizing healthcare for our community. “Reading Hospital and Diamond Credit Union have a strong partnership which began over 28 years ago. As leaders in our respective fields, we recognize that whether it’s our financial health or our physical and mental health, the commitment to improving the lives of the people in our community is our shared mission. By joining Diamond’s Board, I aim to further solidify our partnership and continue our mission to help our community prosper and grow.”
Position 3 – Sandi M. Chieffo
“Whether through volunteering, mentoring, or providing financial support, Diamond Credit Union staff and volunteers know that these efforts lead to tangible positive changes in the community. It’s why I choose to be a Diamond board and credit union member – I know I’m partnering with an organization whose goals for our community mirror my own. Giving back is a value all of us at Diamond believe in, and we prove that through our service, education, and fundraising endeavors.”
