Sept. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- TICONDEROGA, NY- The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) is pleased to announce the addition of Kate Thompson as their new Marketing Coordinator.

“We’re thrilled that Kate has joined our team,” said Greg Johnson, CEO of the TFCU. “Her expertise and experience will support our efforts to better interpret and promote the financial opportunities and benefits that are available to all of our members, and to increase our participation in local community development initiatives.”
