NORWICH – Christine Howard, Assistant Branch Manager, GHS Federal Credit Union, was recently selected as the recipient of Commerce Chenango’s Employee of the Month Award.

“We’re honored that Crissy was chosen as the very first Chamber Employee of the Month,” said GHS Branch Manager Hillary Wilcox, who nominated Howard for the award.

“Crissy is a very valuable person in our organization,” said Wilcox, noting that Howard had been with the credit union longer than any other employee. “The customers know her, put their trust in her, and know that she is always willing to help them with all of their financial needs. She was critical in the transition when long-time employee Ruth Stafford retired and I assumed the position.”

According to Wilcox, Howard has been with GHS for a total of nine years. She began her employment as a teller and was then promoted to an officer in the loan department. In June 2008, she was promoted to assistant branch manager.
