Even better than a bouquet of flowers for Valentine’s Day, a couple of young leaders at United Federal Credit Union have been promoted to director-level positions at the St. Joseph-based financial institution this week.
United Federal has announced the promotion of both Kameron Morris and Kylie Svorec, and both have accepted new roles at the credit union.
Kameron Morris has been appointed to the position of Director of Mortgage Sales. In his new role, Morris will be responsible for managing mortgage sales through collaboration with both internal and external partners and developing and positioning UFCU mortgage advisors for success.
As Stevensville branch manager, Morris demonstrated leadership skills by effectively inspiring productivity and efficiency from his team and through his commitment to their development, all while keeping the focus on UFCU members. He started his career with UFCU in 2011 as a member service advisor in the member service center, eventually becoming assistant branch manager in Berrien Springs and then branch manager in Stevensville.
Stacy Fillmore is UFCU’s Chief Lending Officer. She says, “Kameron has a positive personality which has resulted in very effective and meaningful engagement with his team members as well as team members across all departments.” She adds, “He is passionate about service delivery and execution in handling member requests, and is sound and thoughtful in his communications. His strong vision for business development positions him for success as our director of mortgage sales.”
Morris earned an Associates of Business Administration from Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor, and a Bachelors of Business Administration degree from Siena Heights University also in Benton Harbor.
Meanwhile, Kylie Svorec has been appointed to the position of Member Service Center Director. In her new role, Svorec will be responsible for leading the member service center in delivering operational excellence, achieving business sales goals, and exceeding members’ expectations for quality of service. Her experience with UFCU started in 2010 as a teller in the St. Joseph branch where she went on to hold the role of member service advisor and then assistant branch manager. In 2014, Svorec moved to the Benton Harbor branch to serve as branch manager.
Regarding Svorec, Fillmore says, “At each step in her career, Kylie has proven to be a driven and inspirational teammate and leader.” She notes, “She has consistently demonstrated a tenacious work ethic and commitment to our mission and values. Kylie is a clear, concise communicator who is passionate about our members’ well-being and directs that focus to her team. She has a proven track record of working effectively with multiple teams across the credit union, resulting in positive member outcomes.”
Svorec is a lifelong resident of southwest Michigan and is active in community development initiatives, including serving as the current president of The Exchange Club of Southwest Michigan, and serving on the Cornerstone Chamber Young Professional Executive Committee.
United Federal Credit Union has served its members since 1949 by helping them to build a sound financial future. UFCU consists of more than 150,000 member/owners worldwide, and manages assets in excess of $2 billion. Its corporate offices and main branch are located in St. Joseph, with additional branches in Arkansas, Indiana, elsewhere in Michigan, as well as in North Carolina, Nevada, and Ohio.
