ESL In the News

During the past two weeks, interviews with David Fiedler, ESL Federal Credit Union President and CEO, and David Brooks, ESL Federal Credit Union Senior Vice President/Lending Center Director, were published in the Rochester Business Journal.

The first article, which was published on April 13, Fiedler discusses ESL's growth; its commitment to the Rochester community and; how its separation from Eastman Kodak Company in 1995, enabled ESL to define its own business strategy and become the leading local financial institution in the Greater Rochester area.

The second article, published on April 20, profiles Brooks, his new role at ESL, and the experience he brings to ESL's senior management team.

We'd like to share with you the news coverage we received. To view Fiedler's interview and Brooks' profile, please see:
