I am pleased to announce that Pam Simek has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer. Pam has been Acting Chief Financial Officer since June.
Pam started her career at Yankee Farm Credit as an administrative assistant in the Williston office in May 1995, just five months after Yankee was formed from the merger of Farm Credit of the Connecticut Valley and Champlain Valley Farm Credit. In 1997 Pam was promoted to Assistant Treasurer/Personnel Coordinator and in 2003 she was promoted to Controller. Now stationed out of our Middlebury office, Pam has played an integral part in the financial operations of our Association for many years. She is enthusiastic about her new position and welcomes the opportunity to help shape the future of the Association.
Before coming to Farm Credit, Pam worked for several employers including a law firm and the General Electric plant in Burlington. Pam holds two bachelors degrees from Trinity College in Burlington (now part of UVM), in history and accounting. She has also attended many Farm Credit specific training events including the Leadership Development Program, the Gettysburg Leadership Experience, and numerous Farm Credit System CFO conferences.
Please join me in congratulating Pam on this promotion.
