Three bank employees finish leadership studies

GREENFIELD — Greenfield Cooperative Bank and its Northampton Cooperative Bank division are celebrating three team members who recently completed distinguished leadership studies.

Jenicca Gallagher, vice president and branch manager at the King Street branch in Northampton, and Erica Josephson, senior credit analyst, both earned degrees from the Stonier Graduate School of Banking. Offered in partnership with the American Bankers Association and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, the Stonier Graduate School of Banking is designed to build leadership, strategy and financial management skills for senior-level professionals in the banking industry.

Ethan McCandless, collections officer, graduated from the New England School for Financial Studies, a two-year program at the Babson Executive Conference Center that prepares rising bank leaders with 135 hours of in-depth instruction and practical simulations.

“Their accomplishments speak to the drive and dedication of Jenicca, Erica and Ethan,” Tony Worden, president and CEO of Greenfield Cooperative Bank, said in a statement. “We’re proud to support their professional growth and look forward to the leadership they’ll continue to bring to the bank and to our communities.”
