Please join us in congratulating Sandy McKennan, Regional Branch Vice President of Sidney Federal Credit Union, who was selected as the Business Spotlight at June’s Chamber Luncheon!
I began my journey with Sidney Federal Credit Union (SFCU) on January 6, 2025. While my time with SFCU has been relatively short, I bring with me 26 years of experience in the credit union industry. Like many, I started my career as a teller and have worked my way up through the years. Throughout my career, I have held most positions within the branch, as well as roles in Human Resources, Compliance, and Collections during my time at a smaller credit union. I later transitioned to a larger credit union where I managed a Lending Call Center for many years. I’m proud to now serve as one of the Regional Branch Vice Presidents at SFCU.
I was first introduced to SFCU through former colleagues, and I’m thrilled to now be working alongside them again. SFCU has a strong community foundation and is well known in the Sidney, NY area. In recent years, we’ve expanded into Onondaga County, establishing a presence in both the Liverpool and Baldwinsville school districts, along with branch locations in Cicero and Liverpool.
Community involvement is very important to everyone at SFCU. This year, we’ve participated in a variety of events in central NY, as well as the Southern Tier. Some of our local involvement includes the Bridal Show, the Syracuse Home Show, and Liverpool Kindergarten Registration Night. We’ve also been active in the Real World program at both Liverpool and Baldwinsville schools, which teaches students about budgeting and financial literacy. Additionally, we partnered with United Way to host a Super Saturday Tax Event, offering free or low-cost tax preparation services to low-income families. We’re also proud supporters of the YMCA and its Girls Summit initiative. Most recently we have been partnering up with non-profits in multiple counties to offer membership and build relationships with.
The short version of it all, Sidney Federal Credit Union (SFCU) is a great place to work and be a member of.
