Members and employees of Chartway Federal Credit Union mourn the loss of Board Member Jim Sibley.  Jim served 37 years with Chartway as a volunteer on the Board of Directors.  He began his volunteer services as a member of the Personnel Policies Committee in 1971, was elected to the Board of Directors in 1981 and served as Chairman from 1989 to 1993.  During his 37 years of service with Chartway, he also offered leadership as 1st Vice Chairman and 2nd Vice Chairman, and was the Membership Officer, Security Officer and Delinquent Loan Officer.   During his tenure, Jim enjoyed serving on Chartway’s Education Committee, Membership Committee, Loan Review Committee, Supervisory Committee and Executive Committee.  He recently served on the Special Activities Committee and was Chairman of the Human Resources Committee. Jim retired from the Naval Aviation Depot with over 42 years of combined military and civilian services.

“As a long-time friend and a wonderful member of our Chartway family, his passion for building our credit union and desire to make a difference in the lives of others was simply inspirational.  While he will be deeply missed, may we also be strengthened and uplifted by the many warm memories our time with him yielded” comments Ron Burniske, President and CEO of Chartway Federal Credit Union.
