Congratulations to Mandy Malone on being chosen as the Employee of the Quarter for First Quarter 2013! Mandy began her GCF career in August 2006, and currently serves as a Customer Service Representative in our Washington Township branch.

She was nominated by her supervisor, Lindsay Corbett, who wrote:

"Mandy consistently delivers efficient service and high quality work. Her strong work ethic is an asset to our company. Mandy is always the first to volunteer to help and consistently performs additional tasks or jobs that are not her own."

Mandy has been consistently recognized by our customers for her customer service, and we are proud to recognize her as well. Thank you, Mandy.

The New Jersey Bankers Association and New Jersey Banker magazine has named Varuni Singh, AVP/IT Manager/Senior Operations Specialist and John Kaufman, Treasurer, among its "New Leaders In Banking." The award recognizes the upcoming leaders in the banking industry. Ms. Singh and Mr. Kaufman were chosen by a panel of judges, none of whom is an active banker, or staff member of the New Jersey Bankers Association (in order to ensure impartiality). To be eligible for the award, an individual must be age 40 or under at any time in 2012, be employed at a New Jersey bank, be an outstanding employee, manager or business leader and have made a notable impact within their bank or community.

"Varuni and John represent the future of banking. They each bring a combination of talent, innovation and energy that are critical - not just to our Bank's future success, but to the industry as a whole. We are proud of their accomplishments". - Tim Hand, Acting President/CEO of GCF Bank.

The awards ceremony will be held at the Tropicana Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey on December 12, 2012. Ms. Singh and Mr. Kaufman will also be featured in the next issue of the New Jersey Banker magazine, which will include a special section highlighting the class of 2012 New Leaders in Banking.
