Volunteers and Staff

Angie Lauder, Manager, NMLS # 1380902

I joined Stewart’s Federal Credit Union in January 2004, where I began my lifelong career. I began as a part time teller when my children were in grade school. Members of the Credit Union would soon get to know me as the one with the impeccable memory. I branched out from the teller position and got my hands into the operations side of the business. This position allowed me to grow with the Credit Union substantially. I gained knowledge on all back-office responsibilities, accounting aspects of the banking industry, general ledger balancing, membership, and the debit card platform.

With my years of gaining knowledge, communication, and skills of the Credit Union, and the confidence and trust of our members I was granted the position of being the loan officer. This role that I took grew to be more than a title for me. Our company, partners and members have taught me that sometimes someone’s story is more important than what’s on paper. The relationships and friendships that I have formed over the years with our members has allowed me to grow with empathy and compassion.

My dedication, compassion and love for the Credit Union has led me to my current role as manager. With this role, I am responsible for managing the overall operations of the Credit Union including loans, business & employee development, member services, product sales, and membership growth.

As I continue my career journey here at Stewart’s Federal Credit Union, I will continue to strive on building lifelong relationships one member at a time.

Sandy Lowe, Marketing Coordinator, Notary

I began as a partner with Stewart’s at the plant over 22 years ago. In September of 2005, I moved to the Credit Union, and this was the best decision I could have made. I have never looked back and enjoy making a difference for our members everyday financial needs!

After 18 years of opening new accounts and overseeing the debt card program, I have taken on a new role, coordinating all aspects of the credit union’s marketing program along with our diverse committee.  We publish a newsletter quarterly, lots of fun promotions, loan specials and now have a social media presence! I enjoy going out to the districts to do roadshows and share the amazing benefits of being a member of the credit union. I’m working on a couple exciting special projects that will be instrumental in the credit unions future.  As a senior staff member, I am also actively training our newer staff on the day-to-day processes of the credit union. 

I love the Credit Union’s People Helping People philosophy, we do this every day without hesitation at Stewart’s FCU, that’s why I love my job!

Chelsea Waldron, Notary, Loan Officer NMLS #2127714

I started my career at Stewart’s FCU in October of 2021 with 5 years of previous banking experience. I learned very quickly after starting here what a wonderful company I became a part of. My focus at the credit union is loans.

My favorite part about this job is helping our members achieve their financial goals. Whether its buying a new car, refinancing for a better rate and lower payment, making home improvement dreams come to life or coaching our members on how they can maximize their credit score and achieve financial freedom, I always find joy knowing I played a part in their story. 

I look forward to serving our members for many years to come!

Jordan Arnold, Operations Coordinator

I joined Stewart’s as a Credit Union intern in the Summer of 2021, and returned as a full-time member service representative after graduating college in 2022. Although I did not begin with any banking experience, I have learned a lot and have received so much encouragement from not only the staff at the Credit Union, but also from our members.

The best thing about working here is the community of members. Opening new accounts and working with the debit card program has allowed me to begin to build relationships with many of them, both long-term members and brand-new ones just starting out! Whether it be a quick phone call or a visit to the office, it is a pleasure to get to know these individuals and provide them with personalized services in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Amy Robinson, MSR

I started with Stewart’s Shops as a partner 18 years ago in 2005. Soon after that I began my career as a shop manager at the old Burnt Hills shop, then spent the last 10 years at Church Ave. I truly enjoyed my years as a shop manager and made lifelong friends that were both partners and customers. It was a tough decision to make this change from the shops to the Credit Union, but I am really embracing it.

My favorite part of working at the Credit Union is the feeling of helping our members, whether it’s solving a problem or just taking care of their financial needs.  One of the many happy moments of each day is seeing so many familiar faces.  There is so much to learn about the credit union that my days go by fast! I really enjoy helping our members with their loans and other financial needs. This is a company that I love and will stay with for another 18 years – in the Credit Union

Shannon Potter, MSR

I began as a Stewart’s Partner in May of 2002 in the Human Resources/Payroll Department and spent 10 years as one of the Human Resources Representatives at the Plant. I truly enjoyed my time in HR but I was ready for a change. In October of 2023 I moved to the Credit Union.

 As the Membership Coordinator, some of my responsibilities include signing up new members and telling them about all of the benefits we offer. I also help members with their ATM and debit cards, and am involved in some of our daily operations.

One of the things I love about the Credit Union is seeing the members come in and being able to help them with their financial needs.
